International Court of Justice Hears South Africa’s Genocide Case Against Israel
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) began public hearings on South Africa's genocide case against Israel, accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza since October 7. South Africa, a signatory to the Genocide Convention, seeks interim measures including withdrawal of Israeli military and halting bombings. Israel will respond on Friday. The ICJ comprises 15 judges; both nations appointed ad hoc judges: Aharon Barak for Israel and Dikgang Moseneke for South Africa. Jurisdiction is based on the Genocide Convention. Enforcement relies on the UN Security Council, but the US veto power may hinder compliance. A preliminary order could come within weeks, while a full judgment may take years.
