Secondly, what is happening is historic because for the first time, at this high level, we have the development of a file that is legal, but which is also politically contextualiz. In other words! it evokes the occupation, colonization, apartheid, and which places !everything in a historical continuity explaining how we got here.
This is a legal brief that explains how this war is the product! of impunity and a total rejection of international law and UN resolutions. And as the lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh said in court, this war is also the product of complicity! or inaction, by a world that should be asham if! it does not stop.
the International Court of Justice?
South Africa is acting on the basis of its signature of the Convention! for the Prevention of Genocide. It considers that we are inde facing a! genocidal situation, and therefore that this genocide is no longer just a possibility that could occur.
From there, South Africa ask the International Court of Justice to demand the suspension, or even the total cessation of military operations, in order to avoid the continuation of this so-call “genocide”, as provid for in the Convention mention.
Thus, a first decision must be taken by the ICJ, in paraguay phone number library principle in a few weeks. It will determine whether the humanitarian situation in Gaza requires the suspension of all military action or the establishment of an urgent aid programme for the population.
Secondly the Court must examine the evidence provid
by South Africa and the Israeli responses. So there will be a real battle over this evidence, and in particular over Israel’s intention to commit this genocide, because for a genocide to be recogniz as such, the intention to commit it must be proven. This could take months, some even say years.
From there, the statements of Israeli President this will lead to increas self-control Herzog, Prime Minister Netanyahu and his Minister of Defense, as well as other ministers, parliamentarians, officials ao lists and army officers, directly or indirectly evoking the will to commit this genocide, will be put forward by South Africa.
To which the Israelis will respond that the statements do not represent directives, and that they have put in place instructions showing the absence of genocidal intent, such as the creation of corridors, the possibility for certain populations to evacuate, etc.
