- THE HAGUE - The International Court of Justice (ICJ) holds public hearings in the case South Africa v. Israel - Oral argument of South Africa
The UN’s top Court today (16 May) heard a new request from South Africa to issue more constraints on Israeli military action in the Gaza strip.
South Africa's Ambassador to the Netherlands Vusimuzi Madonsela, delivered the reading of the concluding submissions of South Africa.
He said, “As a matter of extreme urgency, South Africa as a State party to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, respectfully request the Court to indicate the following provisional measures, the text of which has been amended to reflect the ever-increasing gravity of the situation.”
Ambassador Madonsela continued, “South Africa respectfully request the Court to order the State of Israel as a State party to the Genocide Convention, and as a party to these proceedings, to one - immediately and further to its obligations under the Court's previous orders of 26th January 2024 and 28th March 2024, cease its military operations in the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah government, and withdraw from the Rafah crossing and immediately, totally and unconditionally withdraw Israeli army from the entirety of the Gaza Strip.”
He added, “Two - immediately and further to its obligations under the provisional Measure four of the Court's 26th January 2024 order and provisional measures 2a and 2b of the Court's decision of March 2024. Take all effective measures to ensure and facilitate the unimpeded access to Gaza of United Nations and other officials engaged in the provision of humanitarian aid and assistance to the population of Gaza, as well as fact-finding missions, internationally mandated bodies and officials, investigators and journalists in order to access and record conditions on the ground in Gaza, and enable the effective preservation and detention of evidence, and ensure that its military does not act to prevent such access, provision, preservation or detention.”
“Three - Submit an open report to the Court: A - on all measures taken to give effect to these provisional measures within one week, as from the date of this order; and B - on all measures taken to give effect to all previous provisional measures indicated by the court within one month, as from the date of this order,” the South African Ambassador concluded.
Israel will respond on Friday at the Hague.
The hearing came after the request for the indication/modification of provisional measures submitted by South Africa last week.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, holds public hearings on the request for the indication of provisional measures and the modification of provisional measures previously prescribed by the Court submitted by South Africa on 10 May 2024 in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) on 16 and 17 May 2024, at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the Court. Session held under the presidency of Judge Nawaf Salam, President of the Court.

I am 61 years old, my parents lived through the sordid period including the genocide of the Jews in Europe. I did not believe I would experience this in my lifetime and my parents are no longer here to see the pattern reproduced in this place.. Thank you Nadeli Pandor for your tenacity, the UN must absolutely send peacekeepers to save those who can still be saved from this monster who has absolutely nothing of a prophet. Yesterday I saw a baby's face completely torn apart, disfigured, I can't believe we can see this in 2024!! I won't get used to it, I don't want to get used to it... Stop this monster.. 😔😔😭😭
Danke ❤
Gracias
Did you see the child with the skull blown up and no brain left?
I saw him 💔@@cooolstruuff917
Thank you so much I feel like you 😢
It will be written in the history books one day that South Africa and her beautiful people stood up for the Palestine people. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
South Africa where genocide took place not so long agp.

ICJ and ICC should react now or the world international court system should be dismantled and replaced with a system that works.
The “highest court in the world” is ironically the least powerful court in the world🤦🏽♂️
The system that works for Justice is to get rid of Isn'treal.
So much time is wasted doing this bs TALK TALK TALK & more TALK
SICKENING
Exactly!!! The Western world runs the UN. Rome, Greece, Egypt, China, France, Britain once was leaders of the world and no longer are. USA was once the leader and think they are still. History will record this very well.
No city is stronger than the physical might to enforce its decisions. This goes for all courts. If no power on the planet is willing to enforce the role of law another type of court will change nothing, only the change of powers
From Morocco thank you south Africa for defending the people of Palestine ❤

Is nobody going to mention the 'settlers' that are being bussed in daily, that are blocking aid trucks?
That’s not a fact to this request
@@michellerenner6880 actually, it's EXTREMELY relevant! The IOF are allowing those monsters masquerading as human beings to impede crucial aid. They're not arresting them, they're not doing anything to discourage them.
We need justice to take the STAND NOW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@michellerenner6880 it very much is! The IOF isn't arresting them or doing anything to discourage it. The monsters masquerading as human beings that call themselves 'settlers', go there by multiple bus loads EVERY SINGLE DAY, harass and threaten the drivers, rip food and medicines off of the trucks, and there's NEVER a consequence. That's definitely part of this.
@@michellerenner6880 it most definitely is! The IOF is standing there allowing it to happen. They're not arresting anyone, there's not a single consequence.

So true
God bless South Africa and all its divine people ❤🙏🏻 Thank you
Hi Christine how are you
I can't believe that South Africa is standing alone in this while the Arab and the Muslim countries are watching, shame on you.
I can understand why they don’t use military force against Israel but why not through ICJ? Am I missing something here?
@@yayapoloo9627 Many Muslim and Arab nations have supported the ICJ case against israel most recently Egypt and Libya and earliest were Jordan and Indonesia
@@yayapoloo9627Such an action through the ICJ would require a Security Council Resolution. Even then the US would veto it in the Security Council with its veto power.
@@saaammmmyyyyyyy but they didn’t make their own cases against Israel and punish them in court by law
@@yayapoloo9627 Because these leaders are under the US political pressure and submitted to them. It need courage to do what South Africa is doing.

Thank you South Africa. You are the moral conscience of the world.
You should Google Julius Malema and what he wants to do to the Afrikaans people
What's the difference between genocide and badly losing a war you shouldn't have started?
@@stephenboisvert6703 Thanks for your reply. I’m not an authority on war, but the unfettered targeting of civilians is one possible difference. There’s also a background issue in play too, and that’s the ongoing apartheid of the last 70 years. I’m not condoning Oct 7, but it didn’t happen in a vacuum. It seems to reflect a sort of desperation. Do you believe the Palestinians should just accept apartheid? What do you see as the solution?
@@carenlily5439 I am not an authority on South Africa. I did google Julius Malema. Looks like a real bad actor. I’ll do a little more research to get better informed. In my comment though, I was only responding to the speeches at the ICC, which seem to reflect a solid degree of moral understanding. If someone like Molema took over power, we might be hearing a more hateful tone from SouthbAfrica. I hope he stays in the minority. Thanks for pointing this out.
@@carenlily5439Oh please. Stop trying to paint South Africa negatively but mentioning someone who is not even a member of the ruling party. Someone who is not even a minister and has little to no say about the running of South Africa. What are you trying to prove by that?.. Really?? 🙄🙄
In her book, "Next Year in Jerusalem," Daphna Golan-Agnon asserts, "I refuse. I refuse to believe that it is acceptable to imprison an entire nation [Palestine] in the name of our security...I refuse to believe that the only choice is force." The ICJ has asked Israel to enact provisional measure to stop the ongoing genocide. If Israel continues to breach the binding resolution of the court and the UN Security Council, those who use force to colonize Palestine and incite genocide should be arrested. Canada needs to stop weaponizing the use of force against students protesting this war on college campuses and instead, weaponize justice and international morality that targets the Israeli agents of genocide. Canadian silence is shameful when Palestinians are crying for justice and protection against genocide. Free Palestine
Adila Hassim spoke and the world must listen. What an amazing, heartfelt, heartbreaking, and factual speech. The world must react otherwise they are all complicit in genocide.
She is just outstanding!
Yes. I felt her words. Very thankful for her and this whole South African delegation. 🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸
Please don't be biased/racist! South Africa sent a team, don't listen selectively.

South Africa deserves the Nobel Peace prize

Bad subject and attempt for blame SA via dark propaganda.
South Africa should be charged with genocide. Look at what has happened and is happening there.
As a South African I stand behind my government on Palestine 🇿🇦🇵🇸
Must feel so good to have a home country to be proud of, in this theatre of global (but mostly western) shame!
Greetings from Sweden
Great work by the South African lawyers. You are doing a great presentation. The ICJ MUST act NOW and there should be consequences for the perpetrators for NOT following International LAW. WAKE UP ICJ and save lives. Peacekeepers from NATO are needed to save lives in GAZA.
Thank you South Africa and thank you to the entire South african Powerhouse Legal team, Thank you South africans legal team Aadila and all her legal colleagues. you are teaching the World . to stand up for Humanity and hu man rights and equality for all human beings.
God bless South Africa. Thank you, righteous nation.
Proud of South Africa!🇿🇦🇿🇦💚👍
How these judges and world leaders can hear this and continue to drag their feet, turn a blind eye, or continue to support Israel is beyond comprehension. If their families were in the shoes of Palestinians - maybe then it would sink in. Be relentless South Africa.
Heartbreaking. Bravo to these young professional SA lawyers.
RSA lawyers are presenting heartwarming stuff to heal the heartbroken ones.
Excellent Blinne and colleagues. ICJ must act to save lives now and stop Israels genocide.
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover up for evil, but live as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. 1 Peter 2: 16-17. Stop the genocide

The facts outlined in these speaches should be kept in the “chronicles of the slaughter of the Palestinians and decimation of life in Gaza”.
🔥🔥 those were very powerful persuasive arguments by team SA
To all those who r saying South Africa is doing nothing about the Congo War!
In fulfilling South Africa’s international obligation towards the Southern African Development Community (SADC) mission to support the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), President Cyril Ramaphosa ordered the employment of 2900 members of the South African National Defence Force to assist in the fight against illegal armed groups in the Eastern DRC.The employment will cover the period from 15 December 2023 to 15 December 2024 and it was authorised in accordance with the provisions of section 201(2) (c) of the Constitution of the Republic of South African.The budgeted expenditure to be incurred for the employment amounts to just over R2 billion. This expenditure will not impact provisions for the defence force’s regular maintenance and emergency repairs
Thank you so much to the South African legal team and all countries that supported SA. May God bless Palestine. Palestine will be free! Love to Palestine and South Africa, from Japan.
South Africa ❤❤❤
FREE her Justice people,, Free the people, FREE Palestine.
Shame on the Muslim Ummah and the so called Arabs for not supporting the Palestinian people and for not standing by with South Africa
All whilst Saudis etc are too busy trying to build the tallest towers and theme parks in the dessert. Total shame
Muslims across the world are considering boycotting the Haj in the belief that Allah understands and would support such action
...trying being the operative work. From what I hear...that is not going too well 😊
I thought about that but was thinking wouldn't that be what zio Salman wants
@morpheous 7
Saudi rulers busy building these gigantic buildings etc.- nobody will visit; it will be a white elephant simply bcos these are artificial , man-made; nature did not create it, therefore nothing to marvel at it
@@morpheous7 really? In many countries going to Haj requires many years waiting, I don't think many muslims would resort to boycotting the Haj.

That's so clear to see it's a genocide, but we have to make it complicated and miss the chance to save lives.

As horrific as these times are I’m so proud of humanity as a whole. Many of us are trying to do our part to end the atrocities in Gaza.
Unless military action is threatened against Israel if the atrocities do not stop this will not end well

People need to accept that these rules about genocide and war crimes come with the disclaimer that it doesn't apply to America and their allies
America (USA) will bow to the truth, they will bow before the Amighty. The day is coming.
Israeli ibulala abantu abangena cala 💔👎
Will the US and other countries actively and openly supporting this genocide also be referred to the ICJ.They have to be.
Yes those complicit and supporting war crimes by political support and providing weapons should also be found guilty.
Veto powers need to be amended!
If there are 5 veto countries, a majority of at least 3 of those countries MUST be required in order to veto any decision!!!
Why not have younger generation seating on the ICJ benches. I am tired of seeing 18 century people in high offices
Maybe experience is valued more than emotions.
@@petermachete5647 What kind of expereince here? Because world leaders don't have a great history on fairness or humanity.
South Afrika must stop this madness.
Are you insane, why would you want a stand against genocide be stopped but not the actual genociding of human beings?
What madness if I may ask?
U r so ignorant to say that. Go learn ur own history & who helped South Africa to fight Apartheid.
Be clear! what are you talking about?
Thank you South Africa. I’m with you, even if my Irish Government are cowards. I have yet to hear any voice in my country who doesn’t agree with every humanitarian point you make. Thank you for making a legal argument for what any gentle soul can see as genocide.
PALESTINIANS HAVE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO RESIST AGAINST OCCUPATION, OPPRESSION, ETHNIC CLEANSING AND APARTHEID WHICH HAVE BEEN CONTINUING FROM 1948.NEKBA.
What about the Palestinian continous relentless bombing of the border region that has been going on since 1947? What about the Israeli casualties since 1947 resulting from their attacks ? Nekba? Jews were also displaced in 1947. Jews had to evacuate, leaving their homes behind and go to Israel. Muslims were alllowed to stay in Israel and become Israeli citizens.
What a great justification an occupier has a right to self defence and a victim has no right
You missunderstood something here, I think. The court ruled a state cannot claim self-defence against a region it is occupying.
Thank you
God bless SA and all free people of the world
All I want to hear is that sinwar is no more so this war can end.

If Isreal leaders not abiding by the court orders, should they be kicked out of the UN as a member? They don’t uphold the high courts orders. That’s unfortunate and unacceptable, don’t you think?
Seeking validation from others will keep us trapped. We don't need anyone to approve of our worth. Once we understand this we are free.

Shame on the Arab Leaders !
We are all in need of renewal. One of the many benefits of being in therapy is excavating fears, anxiety and resentments that are holding us back, trapped in a past that can never be changed. We cannot become freer and lighter in the present while dragging around resentments from the past. Please let them go - for your sake, no one else’s. Resentments make us physically and emotionally vulnerable. It’s an old tired pattern and now is a good time to become renewed, to become lighter and healthier. Give up those dark thoughts. Be born again as a humble and happy person who is free of the pain of the past.
South Africa should be arrested for filing a false police report
This is really tragic.
Quote from World Report 2023
" In February, South Africa extended by three months the deployment of 1,495 soldiers as part of its contribution to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Mission in Mozambique, which the SADC authorized in July 2021 to support Mozambique’s military operation against armed Islamist fighters in its Cabo Delgado province. "
Did you see what they did to the food trucks? What is wrong with these people?
How is it that people can see exactly what is going in Gaza from numerous angles practically live and somehow they STILL refuse to even acknowledge that the response was disproportional let alone actively genocidal. As was said in this argument self defense is justifiable BUT there has to be limits to it. As an American I know there is real resistance to the idea that self defense has limits, here people think a disproportional response to something minor constitutes self defense(like flat out shooting someone for trespassing for example). Israel knows the American government won't check it's actions because Israel is doing exactly what America has done and still is.
👏👏👏
I support and will obey The United Nations forever!
