Contextualisation of Psagot in Light of Other CJEU Case Law on Occupied Territories

This Insight is dedicated to a contextualisation of Psagot (judgment of 12 November 2019, case C-363/18, Organisation juive européenne and Vignoble Psagot [GC]), in light of previous rulings of the CJEU in cases involving occupied territories, namely the cases Anastasiou I - III, Brita, Council v. Front Polisario, and Western Sahara Campaign UK. The Psagot judgment was certainly influenced by this case law. Regrettably, this finding also concerns the Court's tendency to shy away from applying the EU's and the Member States' obligations under international law head-on.
