The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide in Gaza.
The World Court announced it has jurisdiction over the case brought by South Africa and dismissed Israel’s bid to throw it out.
The court says Israel must punish any incitement to genocide and ensure its military doesn’t break the Genocide Convention. This is not a call to stop military attacks but an order to adhere to the convention on genocide.
The interim verdict is a major blow to Israel and the US which have undermined the case despite overwhelming evidence presented by South Africa.
The court will not rule today on whether Israel has committed genocide; that verdict could take years. For more on this story, tune into democracynow.org. | Posted on 26/Jan/2024 19:22:22
