Mustafa Barghouti, the Secretary General of the PNI says Israel’s attack on a school in Gaza City, where displaced Palestinians were praying, further demonstrates how countries like the US, shelter Benjamin Netanyahu from accountability for the killing of civilians.

Ardi Imseis, a professor of international law at Queen’s University, says the International Court of Justice’s ruling determined Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory to be “illegal” and can be subject to reparations. Imseis says the ICJ’s findings are “binding” but not only for Israel.

American human rights activist, Aryeh Neier, says that if a government acts in good faith and does a proper investigation of an alleged abuse, then the International Criminal Court has no need to intervene, Neier says he does not have any “confidence” in Israel’s willingness to conduct an internal investigation into alleged abuses against civilians in the Gaza war.

Marc Weller, a professor of international law at Cambridge University, says the International Court of Justice does not have an army to enforce its indictments against Israel, unless the UN Security Council votes in support of the court’s judgements. He says the International Criminal Court indictments against Prime Minister Netanyahu have made it increasingly challenging for Israel to “manoeuvre” diplomatic relations.

Nicaragua told the ICJ that through it’s support of Israel, Germany is “failing to honour its own obligation to prevent genocide” and must cease providing support for what it calls the “campaign of destruction against the Palestinian people.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #ICJ #UnitedNations #TheHague #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Nicaragua #Germany #Genocide #GazaWar #WarCrimes #IsraelWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #IsraelWarOnGaza #WarOnGaza
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 […]
It was an eventful today at the court, with presentations from South Africa, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil and Chile. Canada was also initially scheduled to present its arguments but decided to pull out at the last minute. The question of whether the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is unlawful was very clearly answered by all 10 countries: It is absolutely unlawful and it should end immediately. South Africa argued that this is a colonial apartheid system and that settlements have to be dismantled and reparations paid. Even countries that have very strong ties with Israel, like the Netherlands and Belgium, had very strong words […]
The International Court of Justice is hearing submissions on Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. It will consider the legal consequences of Israel’s ongoing breach of Palestinians’ right to self-determination, as well as how Israeli policies impact not only the occupied areas, but also other countries and the United Nations. Advisory opinions by the UN’s top court are non-binding but they carry significant moral and legal authority. So when a decision is announced, it will have global implications? Presenter: Adrian Finighan Guests: Riad Malki — Foreign minister for the State of Palestine Ardi Imseis — Legal counsel for the State of Palestine Nour Odeh — Palestinian political analyst Mehran Kamrava — […]
The International Court of Justice has begun a series of hearings on Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine in The Hague. For five days, the UN’s highest court will be considering the legal implications of Israel’s policies and actions, and what they mean for all other UN member states. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki made the opening statement, with a reminder of the numerous aspects of Palestinian life affected by Israeli occupation. Paul Reichler is the lawyer representing Palestine in front of the ICJ. He says Israeli occupation is permanent and this in itself is a violation of international law. Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith is monitoring the latest developments at The […]
