Nicaragua sues Germany at ICJ for aiding Israeli Genocide

ER Editor: Al Jazeera also picked up the story —

Nicaragua drags Germany to ICJ for ‘facilitating Israel’s genocide’ in Gaza

Not only is Germany providing military weapons, but it has also defunded the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) along with 9 other countries because of Israel’s claims that ‘about 12 of the tens of thousands of Palestinians employed by the agency were suspected of participating in Hamas’s October 7 attacks in Israel. But Israel has yet to provide evidence to UN investigators more than a month after it made its claims’ as per Al Jazeera. Berlin is both the second biggest donor to the UNRWA behind Washington, but it also 2nd (ditto) when it comes to providing military support.

Emergency measures, Nicaragua said in its Friday filing, were necessary because of Berlin’s “participation in the ongoing plausible genocide and serious breaches of international humanitarian law” in the Gaza Strip.

…

A hearing date is not yet known, however, the ICJ, also known as the World Court, usually starts proceedings on requests for emergency measures within weeks.

Germany really needs to wake up fast. It has this awful habit throughout relatively recent history of pushing the self-destruct button:#Nicaragua institutes proceedings against #Germany and asks the #ICJ to indicate provisional measures. https://t.co/0KxiQMgN0i

#Germany is being accused of aiding Israel’s genocide in Gaza!

Nicaragua has a filed a case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

This is a brilliant move. South Africa first went after Israel; and now the Israeli regime’s supporters are being targeted and shamed. 👏🏼👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/zy2AT29DUy

Nicaragua sues Germany at ICJ for aiding Israeli genocide against Gaza

The seat of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague

It said it had filed an application at the United Nations top court against Berlin over the latter’s providing the Israeli regime with ample political, financial, and military support, while knowing that Tel Aviv would deploy the assistance towards furthering the war.

“Germany cannot deny knowledge of the serious illegality of the conduct of Israel, nor can it deny that its knowledge triggered obligations for Germany under international law to prevent genocide,” the statement read.

Berlin, it said, has provided the regime with unreserved military support “with the knowledge that the military equipment would be used in the commission of serious breaches of international law.”

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Germany comes only second to the United States in terms of arms procurement to the Israeli regime. Each year, the German government provides the regime with 23.9 percent of its imported conventional weapons.

The Western arms influx towards the regime comes while the ICJ said on January 26 that Tel Aviv had to “prevent the commission of all acts within the scope” of the Genocide Convention.

The regime began waging the onslaught against Gaza on October 7, following al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise operation staged by the coastal sliver’s resistance groups against the occupied territories.

At least 30,228 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and 71,377 others injured in the relentless Israeli aggression.

No earlier than on Thursday, the United Nations human rights chief expressed dismay concerning the brutality with which the Israeli regime was waging the war.

“There appear to be no bounds to — no words to capture — the horrors that are unfolding before our eyes in Gaza,” Volker Turk told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
