South Africa is standing their ground right now. they’ve brought “israel” to the ICJ (click for the 3-hour playback of the first day of the public hearing or click for a summary), and now their lawyers want to start proceedings against the US government for being complicit in “israel’s” international crimes (click). while we’ve seen the ICJ’s track record (especially in the Bosnia v. Serbia case rulings—click for a more in depth thread), this is the first step.

this should be the first step to reviving faith in international law. this is where pacta sunt servanda comes into question. what are statutes and conventions for if continuously ignored? why is there room for impunity where there should be none? while “israeli” warplanes continue to target hospitals, and while the US and UK empires bomb Yemen’s capital because of their resistance, we wait and expect an interim measure to stop military operations. this is the first step.

today (or tomorrow in The Hague) is the second day of the ICJ public hearing. after yesterday, we know that archived evidence on the internet helps—do use the hashtag #EndIsraelsGenocide to increase support and visibility for South Africa’s case! (click).

and do tune into the hearing today (click to watch it live here). there is significance in a worldwide live broadcast—everyone shall bear witness to either the birth or the death of “justice.”

and if the ICJ fails us, then it’ll be the ICC’s turn. the ICC has set up a portal for any submission of evidence of “israeli” war crimes in Gaza. anyone can upload verified, factually correct videos and images. click here for the direct link to the portal, and click here for Karim Khan’s statement on it. if you have any saved pictures and videos, please do upload them.
