Germany has been accused of aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza, in a case before the UN’s top court in The Hague, Netherlands.
It was brought by Nicaragua and calls for emergency measures to stop Germany from selling weapons to Israel.
It also wants Berlin to restore funding to the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in six months of bombardment – nearly half of them children.
Ambassador Carlos Jose Gomez is representing Nicaragua. He argues that this conflict will last for generations if countries like Germany continue their indiscriminate support of Israel.
Daniel Muller represents Nicaragua’s claims that Germany violates international law by supporting Israel.
He says that German arm deliveries includes anti-tank weapons at times used against buildings and people.
Lawyer and diplomat Tania von Uslar-Gleichen is representing Germany before the International Court of Justice.
She says the government is upholding international law.
Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen is monitoring the latest developments from The Hague and Dominic Kane is in Berlin for German’s reaction.

Germany no longer qualify to come to another countries and to lecture them about the human rights!
Viva Nicaragua❣️Viva Palestina❣️
As for Germany, your infamous chancellor from the 1940s would be proud of you because just like he tried to eradicate the Jews, you are now arming & aiding Netanyahu & his apartheid state eradicate the Palestinians❗️
This shows that those who denounce are afraid… if they are not free to talk … where is democracy?
Good that the matter is being taken at the highest level, but without wings no bird can fly. Unless ICJ is given full powers to make the decision binding on all members the very purpose of this organization will remain ineffective.
Nicaragua will not be forgotten great nation.
Is US, UK and Australia being held to account too?
Shame on German pure evil wicked nation supporting genocide act
As a German I have never been more appalled by my government. How can we do a mea culpa for the genocide we did and then defend, arm and support another genocide? This is hypocritical in the highest degree. We have a responsibility to atone to the Jewish people for our crimes but we also have the duty to never do or participate in another genocide. Helping Israel in their crimes cannot be part of our atonement. Our complicity is disgusting. I am ashamed of my nationality and through our support we are guilty as charged. We must stop the arms support to Israel, fund UNWRA, do our utmost to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people and help them to finally get their sovereignty. We must stop the systematic murder and displacement of millions of innocent people. Our responsibility must be to protect life not to support a government in its strive to destroy life. We are complicit.
1:23 you don’t say? 🤣
The German civil servants don’t want to end up like Eichmann.
Shame!
The Germans are going for 2 out of 2.
Germany want natural gas and oil worth 1 trillion dollars same like USA, UK and France shameless biggest colonizers of the world
Germany committed two genocides in 80 years time span. One against the Jews during WW2; and by helping genocidal Israil materially, diplomatically and logistically. What a shame. We all thought Germany has learned her lessons the hardway. It seems they have not.
Germany just cant help itsself when it comes to supporting Genocide
Love Nicaragua from South Africa standing for humanity❤
Im german and our Media doesn’t even cover this stuff. if you ask the average person on the street or they’d probably don’t even know 5% of what’s going on, let alone that germany is already being sued for genocide jet again.
Shame on Germany 🇩🇪
Germany is basically afraid that Israel turns on it after all what it did to Jews in ww2
Germany also committed the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia, an African country, where between 24,000 and 100,000 Hereros and 10,000 Nama were killed in the genocide.
Support Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Germany has an incredible evil history. Two genocides (that we know of) in the last century, and complicity in another genocide in this century. And we are only in the first quarter.
The generations after the holocaust were ashamed and continually apologised. Now that the other genocide in Namibia is public, as well as the complicity of another genocide in real time, how long will it take future generations to wipe the stink off.
How much antisemitism can filter through the United Nations before it stops being taken seriously as an organization? It must be reaching its maximum potential after all these years.
So if you sell weapons or make profit from wars in different countries other than your own, it’s frowned upon?. That judgement could be leveled against many countries
*International Court of Jokesters*
Germany thinkng this will help people forgot about their beautiful history with the jews😂
THE UN LOST ANY CREDIBILITY IT HAD LEFT. TEHY SUPPORT GENOCIDES ALL OVER. THE WORLD AS LONG AS THESE ARE COMMITTED AGAINST BROWN SKINNED INDIVIDUALS THEY CELEBRATE. WHAT KIND OF A ‘JOB’ IS THAT. BROWN NOSED CREEPS.
ISRAEL IS NOT A STATE BUT AN ILLEGAL OCCUPIER CREATED BY THE UK BASED ON COLONIAL/SLAVERY ‘LAWS’ THAT MADE IT WELL INTO THE XX CENTURY. WE DEMAND POLITICIANS PAID HAD AS MUCH, NO FROM WEALTHY FAMILIES, AND WITH ACTUAL QUALIFICATIONS TO DO THEIR JOBS!!!

Do not think that the world court in the Hague is the one who steals the justice of the people of the world. but it is one that protects the interests of the westerners and defends the heinous crimes they are committing. They are liars, never believe their news,its fake news,
Bravo Nicaragua
33,634 Palestinians killed in 186 days vs 1,139 Israelis.
31,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed in the first 2 years.
US arms dealers make a killing. 64,634 killed.
Israel has the most powerful surveillance and reconnaisance systems in the world. It is my opinion they have known all along where all of the hostages are. I believe they are using the holding of the hostages by Hamas as a means to extinct Palestinians and then claim all of Palestine as their own. Israel is very spy savvy. If you want the most advanced surveillance systems to spy on your citizens, Israel is the go to place to purchase just that. They know.😮
Germany didnt learn anything from ww2
Germany supplying Israel with weapons cause they don’t want the zionist jews to return home to Europe!
Germany kicked out Zionist, did holocaust , as a result Palestinian are victims of genocide, Germany is now selling weapons to Israel to continue genocide in Gaza and Palestinian land.
Instead of supporting Israeli genocide, Germany must takes back Zionist to Germany and let Zionist exist in German land but not in Palestinian land.
Why Germany are not interested to take Zionist back to Germany?? Germany is Zionist forefather’s land, Zionist has right to defend and exit in Germany but not in Palestinian land.
Viva Nicaragua bravo❤
Wherever you find genocides, you find the name Germany
The must be antisaxonites!
I am extremely thankful to Nicaragua forr standing against injustice and genocide of innocent women and children and exposing the Germany’s arm support for genocide. ( Big salute to Nicaragua from India 🇮🇳)
BRAVO NICARAGUA! More Countries need to step up and state the Bleedin’ TRUTH!!!
Last time Hitler supported genocide and now Germany is doing the same genocide again. Germany is not just complicit, in fact they’re a genocidal regime all the way.
In the court of Justice, both parties know the truth, it is the judge who is on trial !!
Thank you Nicaragua!
Why is Germany so violent? Killed 6 millions Jews. Committed genocide in Africa. And now Germany is helping to commit another genocide in Palestine while supporting apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Why is German so violent?
This case has to succeed. And then every other western government that backs the zionist murderous entity will find itself in the dock too. Nicaragua and South Africa have been the conscience of the world!
…and the USA too!
Germany thinks supporting israel will make the world forget the holocaust they caused. Sorry it doesn’t work that way.
Well at least Germany is consistent
Shocker, Germany never saw a genocide they didn’t like.
how about the US and Italy, they also funded for weapons…
Stop USA, UK, Australia & France too. They are complicit with Israel war crimes.🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭
I dont understand this case?
Germany can sell weapons to whoever it wants and they are not the only country to sell weapons to Israel.
Nor can the ICJ compel Germany to fund aid programs like UNRWA
The last thing i don’t understand is why these weapons were not sent to Ukraine instead. Israel doesnt need them, Ukraine does. Israel is not in Europe, Ukraine is.
ICJ is wasting its time. It is yet to accuse Israel for perpetrating genocide. With all the openly available news, data, social media and what not, it is not accusing Israel. And it’s ally US too.
Germany supporting Zionism nxzism
“Germany is denying helping Israel to commit genocide”.
No surprise. Germans never considered the gas chambers and crematoria, next to them, in Auschwitz, Majdanek, Chelmno.
and other extermination camps, and gassing and incinerating innocent people, 24/7, as genocide.
For them, it was just the “Final Solution” – regarding “sub-humans”.
And that’s how many Israelis call Palestinians, and are acquiring from the well experienced Germans, weapons
to continue with their “Final Solution” regarding Palestinians. in Gaza. And the Germans are only too happy to help!
Another failed country trying to distract from their own issues. Laughable.
In italiano si dice la germania tira la pietra e nasconde la mano 😮
Germany continue sending weapons to Israel don’t listen to these idiots. They want money to get sent to Gaza so Hamas could steal. No
Are you really that stup!d to think that it’s fine to help a genocide, after your country already caused one before? Is it that hard to figure out what a genocide is!!!
technically, you cannot bring germany to icj … germany is not a nation, just USA colony 😂
What punishment awaits for the criminals?
Of course, Germany “Plays the western Impunity-Card”….
It is MIND BOGGLING, what one can read, and now hear & see!
(the LYING, directly into our faces – without blinking / looking down – without ANY shame!!)
And, of course, it is NOT, and will never be the complicit western countries, that steps forward !!
(they defend their own interests, as they have always done in the past)
And, They “STICK TOGETHER” (and help each other) – fighting against “the truth” – to uphold their massive western & israeli disinformation.
..
Example:
– After The Palestinian Revolt (7..) EU seriously oppressed the main social-medias, to get them to “remove disinformation”.
– The “disinformation”, was (of course) ONLY the pro-palestinian information!
– Whereas “GROSSLY” ALL THE PRO-ISRAELI information through DECADES, has been PURE DISINFORMATION (consciously false!), and has been met with NO DEMANDS by the EU/Germany/etc (of course) !!!
But – OUR World is changing, to the better – and the “old THEY kingdom/world/narrative-rulers” are fighting the REAL REALITY !!
(with Germany being up-front, right now … because “Nobody, nobody challenges the ruler!” .. the old-fashioned logic…)
—-
I looked back, at “the British Mandate” … and, it was “default / like decided from heaven”…
– ENGLAND-ETC. DID NOT EVEN have to “justify” THEIR OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE !!! – it just “WAS” (as in “default western logic” – they just shared the countries, between them! .. which BTW is called: “Western ruler/master- & settler-logic”)!
– AND, it was of-course just called “a Mandatory” (a cynically neutral word) … like Putin calling his occupation “a Special Military Opreation” (which the west opposed fiercily, because ONLY the west thinks, that they can “define reality”!).
– UK & the west, has the privilige to “NARRATE” …. and when that “self-proclaimed right” then “collapsed” after the Palestinian Revolt, then the western-alliance (EU) was VERY QUICK to oppress, swift & harshly, to stop Pro-Palestinian information-sharing … (forcing “X” & “Meta” to take down any information!! (telling the truth, about Palestine, the palestinians, the occupation, Apartheid, settler-colonialism, etc.))
Conclusion & “the future”:
IT’S SHAMEFULL – IT’S CORRUPT – IT’S WESTERN !!!
(what a legacy – what times, to look back at, in some decades (when the world gets even & equal!) … when the western current rulers, has been exchanged with us people, round the globe … when the OLD EMPIRICAL CONSTRUCTS & DEFINERS, FINALLY BECOMES HISTORY !!)
Concerning genocide, Germany knows what’s what.
Shame on Muslim countries too…they are joke and full of sins as well…
We also need to make cases against those who arms Hamas.
Hamas is lowest form of life kidnapping people is crime against humanity and rob people from freedom muslim propoganda
Other than hostage exchange, any suggestion to Hamas on how to free the children detained in lsraeli military prison without any charges nor trials as reported by Defence for Children International and Save The Children UK?
Really your children in Israel jail is killers who was killing people because Muslins teach children to kill when they are five to kill jews the Israel hostages is people who did no wrong and baby’s you must be a psycopath
Listening to the list of what German is selling it beggars belief that Germany is saying (today) they are only selling “defence” equipment. Who are they trying to kid.
Nicaragua is friends with Russia who are guilty of genocide in Ukraine.nicaragua is also guilty of genocide in its own country
Oh yea? und what about the U.S. bombs being delivered ??
Such a circus from a banana republic that can’t feed it’s own people. 🫤🫤🫤
Germany will get around it. ‘God’s Children’ are untouchable.
… 🙁
Groucho Marx — ‘Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too stephen king the dark half to read.’
Germany is complicit.
Viva Nicaragua!
I love how smaller nations are calling out and legally challenging Western hypocrisy
I personally intervene in this ICJ case by filing my uncontested 2017 US federal court document , freely available with the search of::: “1979 US EMBASSY HOSTAGES IN IRAN”
W Nicaragua
Profiting from war is morally abhorrent.

In this video, I cross the border
Germany, USA, Great Britain, etc are all as guilty as SIN!!
Genocide is a word that has meaning and killing less than 0.7% of non combatants in a 6 months period is not near the definition of the word.
The case is based on complete misinformation perpetuated by antisemites such as Al Jazeera which is the mouth piece for Hamas
Germany are just trying hard to make amends for the holocaust.
Jeez I don’t watch much television news – it really is a whole theater with its own language and dramatic conventions. Amazing how little gets said with so many words, how much vagueness and equivocation.
Them German accept all true
THIS IS THE CORRUPTION BEING CARRIED OUT IN ALL OUR NAMES
Bravo Nicaragua ❤❤❤
YES! I am, unfortunately, a German Citizen and ashamed to say that! PLEASE find them guilty in beeing a complicit and backing this ongoing unbelievable slaughter against Palestinians! I AM SICK OF THOS SO CALLED GERMAN COWARDLY GOVERNMENT!!!!!
LOL, du bist so ein Lappen. Du bist nicht Schuld und ich auch nicht. Die HAMAS hat den Schlamassel im Oktober verursacht, auslöffeln müssen das ihre israelischen und palästinensischen Geiseln, letztere in Form des gesamten Gazastreifens.
♥♥♥nicaragua
remember germany has kiled 5mil jows nou the wanna kill palastin nzi are back
ICJ is a joke
Not the ICJ per se, just what these actions do with the accountability of that important institution. The water down incidents, when real genocide is happening. B.t.w. if that was areal genocide Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia would interfere.
The world is full of people who failed at something and are ready to tell you why. They mostly have no real idea, which is exactly why they failed. I see parallels here.
👏👏👏🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮 bravo Nicaragua !
I am sooo desappointed by Germany 😔😔😔
GERMANY ia accomplice with the criminal israel & terrorist USA.
If most of you illiterat imbecilles would have done a two minute research you would have easily found out that German arms manufactures supply Israel with easy to get from everywhere weapons. AT-missiles and bullets. It’s not as if these arms could be easliy acquired everywhere else. Go and criticize the mayor supplier of arms to Israel if you dare. You all know who that is.
What legal action has South Africa and Nicaragua taken to bring Hamas to justice for the genocide it did on 7 October ?
How? Should they have brought Hamas to the ICC?
AlJazeera still crying about getting kicked out of Israel for spreading misinformation and outright lying about EVERYTHING. Coosamac
They might be sometimes incorrect in the weather reporting, but about Israel they were always 100% correct.
@@21stcenturyscots 😂😂😂 Right. Get your head examined. Stop smoking crack.
So many absolute retards on here who have no idea what genocide means. Learn how to read then look it up in the dictionary if you can figure that out you f’ing losers.
Germany did not learn from history- twice genocide within a century pure evil states – isa grande Europe uk rishi Sunak next
After the German Industry will collapse and the Chinese will take over, the world will remember Germany for Fascism.
Well, the Germans are participating in a new genocide and mass murder. last time it was genocide against the jews, this time they are committing genocide against the Palestinians. They never learned history lessons. What is it about the Germans makes them a willing participants in genocides throughout the history?
