Nicaragua’s case ‘has a great relevance not just for Gaza’: Human rights lawyer


The International Court of Justice (ICJ) begins a two-day hearing to consider Nicaragua’s request for provisional measures against Germany over its support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Nicaragua will argue that Germany is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1949 Geneva Conventions by providing Israel with military aid to use…

  1. Nicaragua saying something to Germany…really ??? when the goverment of Daniel Ortega got people from Hamas in his country and hide them their for years and even many of the Hamas and the Islamic Guard of Iran move in and out of Nicaragua with passport ussie from the Nicaraguan goverment..it this is a joke or what for real..????

  2. Oh my God,
    Nicaragua lecturing Germany on genocide, a country that systematically slaughter, jails and kills political opponents, Germany that approves and turns a blind eye to what essentially is the same horror they inflicted upon the Jewish people
    A world upside down 😢

  3. It is of great significance because if Genocide doesn't mean genocide than cases claiming genocide can mean whatever the court wants it to mean so we have a system where courts are not constrained by the law that they are supposed to be constrained by. Meaning our courts are totally at the whim of the judges interpretation.
    This is why the WHO needs to be stopped with their new power grab, because under their new charter they will be the SOLE arbitrator on the definition of Pandemic and a pandemic by their definition can be a political disagreement or any minor difference of opinion. So it is a UN agency being given the ability to do as it wants with no accountability to anyone, exactly the same as the racist , biased and misinformed ICJ.
    Genocide means intentional killing of a significant portion of a genetic group of people with the intent to wipe them out. Israel has killed less than 0.7% of Non Combatants in Gaza, that is less than 7/1,000people in 6 months.
    Using Hamas's numbers with some common sense applied. That is NOT genocide.
    The natural death rate is 6/1,000 in a 6 months period of the average lifespan in Gaza is 80 years.
    What entity is confirming HAMAS's notoriously inaccurate deceptive data on Non Combatants deaths? Are the death rates by natural causes not included in the "Non Combatant" death rates?
    So how can any court, doesn't matter the pomp and ceremony, use lies that are known to be lies as evidence and distorting the definitions of words to put on trial a nation that has perpetually shown a love for life over a terrorist organization that has written into its constitution/ charter the objective of elimination of all Jewish people?

  4. Oh please. The ICF has effectively done nothing since its judgement on Israel’s genocide; remember the 30 days the ICJ gave them to report? Nothing. Why go after Germany when the USA is the biggest Israel enabler. This is just pathetic.
