You know how celebrities lose civil suits all the time and pay zero dollars? Probably something like that.

as of now, nothing happens.

the order will go before the Security Council for enforcement. the US will probably veto it.

i used the word probably (rather than absolutely) because i'm wishful despite my better judgement

The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

Am I misreading or does state that Israel has to do everything it can to prevent the killing of Gazans? Maybe I'm not thinking in the manner of a snake like lawyer here, but logically this would mean an immediate end to bombardment right?

Hope it's OK I put that in the top post so more people will see it. Who's gonna click on all those PDFs.

Unfortunately, the failure, reluctance or inability of States to resolve political controversies such as this one through effective diplomacy or negotiations may sometimes lead them to resort to a pretextual invocation of treaties like the Genocide Convention, in a desperate bid to force a case into the context of such a treaty, in order to foster its judicial settlement: rather like the proverbial “Cinderella’s glass slipper”.

I guess that's the pre disnified version of cinderella where there is mass slaughter, starvation, torture, etc

Then she wants to talk about the context.

hue is short and sweet

Israel:

As a judge in the Israeli Supreme Court, I wrote that every Israeli soldier carries with him (or her), in their backpack, the rules of international law

that means that they follow them mate?

The Israeli Supreme Court has also held that torture may not be used during the interrogation of terrorists6, that religious sites and clergy must be protected, and that all captives must be afforded fundamental guarantees

What even is al-aqsa, who the fuck knows

However, some proof of intent is necessary. At the very least, sufficient proof to make a claim of genocide plausible.

Doesn't matter what bibi and ben gevir says, just ignore it, all good

the Court omits to mention that such figures come from the Ministry of Health of Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas. They are not the United Nations’ figures. Furthermore, these figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants, or between military objectives and civilian objects. It is difficult to draw any conclusions from them

Hamas-run health care ministry again :scared

For example, on 29 October 2023, Israel’s Minister of Defence, stated that “we are not fighting the Palestinian multitude and the Palestinian people in Gaza”. On 29 November 2023, the President of Israel said that “Israel is doing all it can, in cooperation with various partners, to increase the flow of humanitarian aid to the citizens of Gaza”. Regretfully, the Court did not take note of these statements. Finally, regarding the statements made by the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, the latter is not an official with authority over the military. The relevant factual basis allowing for an inference of intent to commit genocide must stem from the organs which are capable of having an effect on the military operations.

See, turning off energy is irrelevant

I have noted the concerning statements by some authorities, which I am confident will be dealt with by the Israeli institutions.

Yeah, mate seen for last 80 years

Genocide is a shadow over the history of the Jewish people, and it is intertwined with my own personal experience. The idea that Israel is now accused of committing genocide is very hard for me personally, as a genocide survivor deeply aware of Israel's commitment to the rule of law as a Jewish and democratic State.

Such a shithead stg

What's the deal with her? She really went balls to the wall with her takes. Seems politically motivated.

It's true, I have a phone call with Mr Hamas himself every evening. Then I call Mr Russia and Mr China. Last, but not least, I visit Mr Bones, who keeps telling me about his new movie. Haven't seen it yet though.

Also notice that.

Assume it is to show their alligence.
