World court begins deliberations on Israeli barrier
Arab and Muslim nations urged the International Court of Justice to issue a decisive verdict demanding destruction of Israel's West Bank barrier and prosecution of planners. Judges retired to deliberate, with a decision months away. ICJ opinions are non binding but could influence Security Council actions despite possible U S veto. The Arab League and OIC pressed for strong recommendations. Israel maintains the barrier aims to curb suicide bombings.
