Abstract
This study analyzes the occupation regime at the present time, especially in those cases of longa manu as in the Palestinian territories, although there are other confusing situations too. The current international legal regime of occupation should be adapted to the new circumstances of the current international society. The legal framework should be enriched with a new body of rules that clarify certain situations that, in the light of current international law, are confusing, as for example, Iraq and the Gaza Strip. If there are no boots on the ground – as in the Gaza Strip – occupation requires very special conditions to exercise de facto control as an occupying Power, without involving military operations that would be de facto a “new reoccupation”.
