Summary of the ways Israel is still not allowed to do genocide:
- Israel must take all measures to prevent any acts that could be considered genocidal - killing members of a group, causing bodily harm, inflicting conditions designed to bring about the destruction of a group, preventing births
- Israel must ensure its military does not commit any genocidal acts
- Israel must prevent and punish any public comments that could be considered incitement to commit genocide in Gaza
- Israel must take measures to ensure humanitarian access
- Israel must prevent any destruction of evidence that could be used in a genocide case
- Israel must submit a report to the court within one month of this order being given
This was after reading into the official record a litany of evils which they seem to be accepting as undisputed facts.
THIS IS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR FOR MY BIRTHDAY 😡 but I’ll take it I guess
What’re the next steps if they either don’t submit the report or are found to have not sufficiently carried out the provisions? Their PM has already said “we won’t let the Hague stop us”, so something tells me they won’t let the Hague stop them
Also is there any mechanism for other states to provide proof that Israel is not abiding by the measures? Or will the ICJ just be taking Israel at their word with no other input
The ICJ has no teeth. The “next step” would be a sternly worded press release. That is also the last step.
According to all media I have had exposure to the enforcement is “diplomatic” and “moral”.
If the court finds in 4-6 weeks that they have failed to comply with the order, but no major nation/military steps up to enforce, then are smaller groups “allowed” to engage in guerilla measures on behalf of the ICJ? Certainly not?
