Event Synopsis: We will examine the importance of South Africa’s landmark case against Israel at the International Court of Justice – the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. South Africa is accusing Israel of committing the crime of genocide, in breach of the 1948 Genocide Convention, with its destructive military campaign in Gaza. The case details an array of evidence of Israeli war crimes and human rights violations being committed including the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, the expulsion and displacement of Gaza Strip inhabitants, and the hindrance of food, water, medical, and other humanitarian assistance. The event will include discussion regarding the merits of the case, where things stand in the process, and how the prosecution of cases works at both the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
