The discovery of Obelisks challenges existing definitions of life and expands our knowledge of the range of self-replicating genetic elements that exist in nature. While viruses are traditionally considered "not alive," Obelisks may demonstrate how that distinction may be overly simple, and that a spectrum of replicative strategies may exist at the boundary between living cells and purely chemical biological entities. It emphasizes that our understanding of biology is constantly evolving and there's more complexity than we can imagine. The implications of this discovery could be profound, requiring us to reconsider fundamental ideas about life and its origins.

- Transfer of civilian population (paras. 115-119)
In its Wall Advisory Opinion, the Court found that Israel’s settlement policy was in breach of the sixth paragraph of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which provides that “[t]he Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies”.
In the Court’s view, there is nothing in the terms or the context of the provision, or in the object and purpose or the drafting history of the Fourth Geneva Convention, to suggest that that provision prohibits only the forcible transfer of parts of the occupying Power’s civilian population into the occupied territory. In the present case, there is extensive evidence of Israel’s policy of providing incentives for the relocation of Israeli individuals and businesses into the West Bank, as well as for its industrial and agricultural development by settlers. There is also evidence that Israel regularly legalizes outposts that have been established in contravention of domestic Israeli legislation and that Israel’s construction of settlements is accompanied by specially designed civilian infrastructure in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which integrates the settlements into the territory of Israel.
In light of the above, the Court considers that the transfer by Israel of settlers to the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as Israel’s maintenance of their presence, is contrary to the sixth paragraph of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. - Confiscation or requisitioning of land (paras. 120-123)
The Court further notes that the expansion of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is based on the confiscation or requisitioning of large areas of land.
Observing that, in the present case, the public property confiscated or requisitioned for the development of Israeli settlements benefits the civilian population of settlers, to the detriment of the local Palestinian population, the Court concludes that Israel’s land policies are not in conformity with Articles 46, 52 and 55 of the Hague Regulations.
