Nicaragua is suing Germany for supporting Israel
Nicaragua turns to the United Nations’ highest court and accuses Germany of complicity in Israel’s “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Central American country’s Foreign Ministry accused Germany of actively supporting Israel’s violation of international law to the detriment of the Palestinian people, especially those in the Gaza Strip.
South Africa, like Nicaragua a strong supporter of Palestinian rights, sued Israel at the International Court of Justice at the end of December for alleged violations of the Genocide Convention committed in the Gaza war. The UN court ruled in an interim ruling that Israel must take protective measures to prevent genocide.
According to its statute, the ICJ is supposed to resolve conflicts between states as peacefully as possible. His judgments are usually binding. However, the UN judges have no power to force a state to implement it. But you can call on the UN Security Council to take action on the matter.
