ICJ hears Israel Genocide case: South Africa brings case to UN's highest legal body



PIL DOCTRINE: The Principle of Distinction between Civilians and Combatants: The parties to the conflict must at all times distinguish between civilians and combatants. Attacks may only be directed against combatants. Attacks must not be directed against civilians

South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza

South Africa has filed a legal case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. The case claims Israel killed over 17,000 Palestinians between October and December last year and expelled 85% of the population. South Africa's legal team argues Israel's actions are similar to crimes committed during apartheid and will compare it to apartheid-era crimes. Israel denies all accusations, arguing its actions are self-defense. A final ruling could take months or years, but immediate measures may be announced soon.
