UN court to Israel: DTRT

dimanche 28 janvier 2024 à 14:05

*The UN court in The Hague told Israel it must "take all measures within its power" to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention of the genocide convention, and to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide and facilitate the provision of "urgent basic services".

The court did not find Israel guilty of genocide, but seems to consider Israel's conduct as leading in that direction, hence orders to make sure it does not commit genocide.

I think that ruling is right for the facts of the situation: Israel's crimes include mass killing of civilians, and potentially many more. That doesn't amount to genocide — this far — but it is an enormous crime.
