Israel guilty of genocide but no ceasefire: ICJ

On one thing, all demonstrators are agreed: "Ceasefire now" (except pro-Israel war criminals)


We were depending on the ICJ to do everything all at once? That was like expecting a government agent in the Mueller investigation of charging, prosecuting, and bringing down Donald Trump when he had the chance. It will take more time, but it's historic what the court decided.

Guilty or not, there will be no ceasefire.
In a highly anticipated ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague in the Netherlands has found that there is a “real and imminent risk” that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

And the ICJ supported “at least some” of the provisional measures the plaintiff, South Africa, had requested when it brought the case in order to rein in Israel’s war crimes and genocidal military assault.

We demand an immediate ceasefire.
Though the ruling falls short of calling for an immediate ceasefire, analysts say it is nevertheless a significant milestone.

Democracy Now! discusses the “unprecedented” decision by the World Court with a panel of experts:
  • Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu,
  • genocide scholar Raz Segal, and
  • scholar of colonialism Mahmood Mamdani.
So we go kill more Arabs, Bibi? (IDF)
“It becomes imperative upon the world community to now act,” says Buttu. “This is the beginning of a process of isolating Israel,” adds Segal.

Court: Genocide case against Israel opens

Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, Rights and Accountability, Jan. 11, 2024; Shauna Schwartz, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Ceasefire now! (IfNotNowMovement.org)
The eyes of the world turned to The Hague on Thursday morning as the International Court of Justice began hearing the genocide case against Israel brought by [the courageous government of] South Africa.

The landmark two-day hearing is to decide if the court will impose “provisional measures” – such as ordering a ceasefire – while it considers the full case, something that could take years.

Genocide in DC (amnestyinternational.org)
Michael Lynk spoke to The Electronic Intifada’s livestream on Wednesday to provide background and analysis of what to expect from this initial stage of the process.

Watch his interview in the video above. Lynk, a professor of law at Western University in London, Ontario, served as the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories from 2016-2022.
On Thursday, lawyers for South Africa present their case for three hours. On Friday, Israel’s representatives will have the same amount of time for a rebuttal.

S. Africa files GENOCIDE case against Israel


South Africa files case against Israel at Int'l Court of Justice over "genocidal" war on Gaza
(Democracy Now!) Jan. 2, 2024: Latest Shows. Support: democracynow.org/give. South Africa has filed a case at the main judicial body for the United Nations, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

"I believe South Africa will win an order against Israel to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide against the Palestinians," says Francis Boyle, an international human rights lawyer who won two requests at the ICJ under the Genocide Convention of 1948 for provisional protection on behalf of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia.

Boyle says Israel has a history of listening to the United States' orders to stop its assaults on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

"We here in the United States of America have the power to stop this."

Dick Cheney, war criminal, on the run (video)

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney is making headlines after canceling an appearance in Toronto, reportedly citing safety concerns.

"Dick Cheney cancels Toronto trip, says Canada is too dangerous," bleated the headline in the National Post, which made the story a featured headline pick Tuesday on its homepage at nationalpost.com.


Code Pink's Benjamim & Fairooz confront war criminal Don Rumsfeld

Ryan Ruppert, president of promotions company Spectre Live Corp., which scheduled Cheney's April 24 appearance at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, said Cheney and his daughter, Elizabeth, canceled citing safety concerns. "After speaking with their security advisors, they changed their mind on coming to the event," Ruppert told CTV Network. They "decided it was better for their personal safety they stay out of Canada."...


Karl Rove runs after being confronted by Code Pink's Jodie Evans

[C]ritics there call him a "war criminal" and blame him for human rights violations including the United States' controversial use of waterboarding to elicit information from terrorist suspects. [He is apparently afraid of being arrested, extradited, and brought up on war crime charges in an international court such as the Hague. And if Canada cannot guarantee that he will not be arrested, he is staying put where his cousin, B.S. Obama, can protect him from being prosecuted or, if need be, pardon him after conviction.] More

Time Magazine: Putting Burma on Trial


Burma's military dictator, Senior General Than Shwe, reviews troops on the 60th anniversary of Myanmar Armed Forces Day in Yangon, 2005 (Reuters/Adrees Latif).

Aung San Suu Kyi protests her innocence before a court in Rangoon. The Burmese democracy icon faces up to five years in prison for violating the terms of her house arrest after an American man swam to her lakeside home in Rangoon. The charges are farcical, the verdict a foregone conclusion: Suu Kyi is expected to be declared guilty on Aug. 11. But some in Burma's embattled Democracy movement will turn to The Hague for solace. Could Senior General Than Shwe, leader of the Burmese junta, be the first Asian to face an international war-crimes tribunal? More>>
