The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, held public hearings on the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by South Africa in the case South Africa v. Israel on 11 and 12 January 2024, at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the Court. Session held under the presidency of Judge Joan E. Donoghue, President of the Court.

South Africa addressed the UN’s highest court on Thursday in a bid to end the mass killing of civilians in Gaza, accusing Israel of carrying out genocide against Palestinians there – a claim that Israel has strongly denied as “baseless”.

The development came amid the ongoing and massive Israeli bombardment across the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas-led terror attacks on 7 October that left some 1,200 Israeli and foreign nationals dead in southern Israel and some 250 taken hostage.

Laying out their case, the South African legal team told the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague that Israel had demonstrated a “pattern of genocidal conduct” since launching its full-scale war in Gaza, the 365 square kilometre strip of land it has occupied since 1967.

“This killing is nothing short of destruction of Palestinian life. It is inflicted deliberately, no-one is spared, not even newborn babies,” the court heard.

Convention’s obligations
It was because of these actions that Israel had contravened the Genocide Convention, the ICJ judges later heard, in reference to the global treaty inked by Members of the United Nations after the Second World War to prevent crimes against humanity.

The Convention was “dedicated to saving humanity”, insisted John Dugard, also representing South Africa, and all countries that had signed up to the Convention “are obliged not only to desist from genocidal acts but also to prevent them”, he maintained.

The hearing continues on Friday with the Israeli presentation.

  1. While everyone has the rights to bring any case of injustice to court, my question to the President of South Africa is "What would you do if that happened to your people?" Let me put a common scenario, "If an accused murderer is hidden in a neighboring home while taking the occupants as hostages, would the police negotiate with the "dangerous" subject to surrender himself with a limited time and ambush the house to rescue the hostages and possibly shoot the murderer to arrest him!. If you're a religious person, practice you conscience to uphold justice!!

  2. Thank you South Africa
    You are a great country n great people .
    Thank you from the bottom of my of our hearts.

  5. It's being done here in T'Amerikka everyday in the most Evil way!!! It's actually being done globally 🌍🌎!!! We The People Must Stand Up Or We Are All Done.

  6. Genocidal conduct?? Have you all seriously forgotten that Hamas were the ones to attack Israel to begin with in the first place?? Do you all seriously have that short of memory???

  7. Could of been avoided if the people enforcing the international laws would have done something about the illegal occupation!! All freedom fighters are considered "terrorists" by the colonizers and their supporters. Their choices of tactics of fighting back dwindle down when you let crimes against their humanity go unchecked. I guess the imperialists have their investments, yeah?

  8. Мне понравилось как женщины аргументированно выступили

  9. THE ACUSSATIONS BROUGHT AGAINST THE MIDDLE EAST ARE ONLY ONE SIDED THATS WRONG. ALL CASES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS FROM BOTH SIDES MUST BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE DETERMANING IF ITS BAD OR GOOD ACTS ?

  10. Many patriotic americans have been saying for a long time that the UN is worthless. The UN is about to prove them correct. The UN is deep state. Zionism is deep state. So this will not amount to any thing of real substance though God bless the south africans for the effort.

  25. Now understand. Until the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. From 1948. Nobody could defeat Israel.
    Amos 9 :14-15 The Restoration of Israel
    14 “Also I shall bring back the exiles of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the deserted and ruined cities and inhabit them: They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.
    15 “I will also plant them on their land, And they shall never again be uprooted from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.

    Zechariah 12 :3 Jerusalem to Be Attacked
    3 And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will come and be gathered against it.

    The 1967 Six-Day War Israel defeated the Arab armies, gained territory four times its original size, and became the preeminent military power in the region. [][],.,.,.,..,
