The team:
I hope they do well, i know international law is super weak but it can have some impact like how south africa during the apartheid grew increasingly isolated by most of the world ending in its western allies leaving them and it being a factor in the end of apartheid regime
sounds like a great, highly qualified team, but even if they win every single argument, who’s going to carry out the sentence?
I love that there’s this international case against Israel, but I’d like to know what’s next, even if only hypothetically
I really hope they win. But i’m somewhat doubtful. I feel like they’re either going to lose or the court is going to water down the language used to condemn Israel. But yes, if they do win, that’s the most pertinent question.
I think you have judges from each major country, so that might influence their decision, very possibly negatively for South Africa’s case.
I’m really not familiar with law/ international law so i speak under correction.
I hate to be negative about this, but i’m not holding my breath until i see the judgement. The international courts have shown that they’re quick to cast judgement on Russia when the US and Europe barked orders at them to, with i don’t even know what evidence. Now there’s a pile of evidence for genocide by Israel but they’re scratching their arses refusing to say ‘Israel’ and ‘genocide’ together in a sentence.
One very good thing to come out of this is keeping the genocide in the spotlight in the international community. And i hope it starts putting more pressure on Israel and the US
There’s already a set of talking points circulating about how the ICJ is ‘biased’
If only the panel also included Ronnie Kasrils, Muhammad Desai and Iqbal Jassat
uncritical support for south africa in their righteous jihad against the fascist isisraeli regime
