On April 8 and 9, the International Court of Justice ( #ICJ) will once again hold hearings on the Israeli genocide in #Gaza.

This time the judges in The Hague will be listening to arguments in the case brought by Nicaragua against #Germany.

The Central American nation accuses #Berlin of violating its obligations under the 1948 #Genocide Convention and other “intransgressible principles of international humanitarian law,” including the Fourth Geneva Convention

#Nicaragua argues that “each and every” party to the Genocide Convention has a duty “to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide” and that since October 2023 there has been “a recognized risk of genocide against the Palestinian people, directed first of all against the population of the #Gaza Strip.”

By sending vast quantities of military equipment to Israel and defunding #UNRWA, the #UN agency that provides essential humanitarian support to the population of Gaza, Nicaragua charges that “Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide and, in any case has failed in its obligation to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide.”
