Regardless of your personal opinions on this conflict, I feel it's an important issue to discuss because of the potential ramifications the court's ruling could have on the international community. Palestine is a mess, and needs humanitarian aid. I feel like the ICJ will rule for a temporary cease fire which will include the release of some Israeli hostages. Possibly a month, but maybe shorter than that. I wonder if they will announce if they are going to take on the long process of the accusation of genocide. It will take a couple years.
It is live right now.
It is getting complicated with other nations getting involved. What ever the ruling I hope we can proceed withfinding a way to stop the killing, especially the innocents.
Here is an excerpt of article discussing today's ruling :
While ICJ decisions are legally binding and cannot be appealed, the ICJ only maintains authority over U.N. members, or nations that accept its authority through some other mechanism, like a clause in a treaty. Since South Africa and Israel are both U.N. members, any decision would, in theory, be binding.
But multiple countries have ignored ICJ decisions. In 2022, Russia ignored a court order to stop invading Ukraine. The U.S. has ignored at least two ICJ orders, the first, in 1986, when the ICJ ruled that U.S. support for the right-wing Nicaraguan rebels, the contras, was illegal, and the second, in 2018, when the court demanded the U.S. make exceptions in its sanctions on Iran.
Hamas said if the ICJ orders a cease-fire, the group will abide by it if Israel does.
How has the ICJ ruled on previous requests for provisional measures?
