ICJ hears Nicaragua’s case against Germany over Israel’s war on Gaza
- The International Court of Justice (ICJ) begins two days of hearings to consider Nicaragua’s request that emergency measures be imposed on Germany over its support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
- The first day’s hearing opens at 10am local time (08:00 GMT) in The Hague, Netherlands.
- Nicaragua argues that, by providing political, financial and military support to Israel and by defunding the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Germany is “facilitating the commission of genocide”.
- In January, after a case brought by South Africa, the court ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide in its war on Gaza.
