World Court orders Israel to halt Gaza genocide
History was made at The Hague when the International Court of Justice on Friday – with a panel of judges from around the world – called for the prevention of genocidal acts in Gaza.
Raji Sourani, the director of the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said that the ruling “is the first time we see Israel held accountable for its crimes before an international court.”
Responding to allegations of genocide made by South Africa, the UN’s top court issued several provisional measures – similar to an injunction or restraining order – while it considers the full case.
It may take the court years to reach a final ruling on South Africa’s genocide complaint against Israel.
