00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:05,360
International Court of Justice iced JA has
ordered israel government to set up mergers to

2
00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:09,400
prevent that of genocide in the Gaza
strip of Palestine, where the country is

3
00:00:09,439 –> 00:00:14,880
currently battling with harmass fighters. The
International Court of Justice on Friday, in

4
00:00:14,919 –> 00:00:18,519
a unanimous judgment, or that Israel
to do more to prevent the killing and

5
00:00:18,640 –> 00:00:22,239
harm or civilians in Gaza, but
did not call for a ceasefire, which

6
00:00:22,280 –> 00:00:25,359
many people had hoped to. Court
wood and does for immediate and to the

7
00:00:25,440 –> 00:00:30,440
violence. At the hex Fis Palace, the Court’s President, Joan Donlugu read

8
00:00:30,480 –> 00:00:34,399
out the court order, ruling that
the icy Jah has jurisdiction in the case

9
00:00:34,439 –> 00:00:38,600
brought by South Africa and arguing that
there is an urgent need for mergers because

10
00:00:38,640 –> 00:00:43,759
of the clausibility of genocide. The
Court called on Israel to prevent the possibility

11
00:00:43,799 –> 00:00:49,119
of genocide, including by allowing more
and punishing comments from officials and soldiers that

12
00:00:49,240 –> 00:00:55,799
amounts to incitement. International Court of
Justice President Joan Donugho says the Court feels

13
00:00:55,840 –> 00:01:00,439
it is necessary for it to indicate
certain mergers in order to protect the rights

14
00:01:00,479 –> 00:01:06,359
claimed by South Africa. The ICAGER
also ordered Israel to allow of humanitarian access

15
00:01:06,439 –> 00:01:11,599
in Gaza. The Court rules that
Israel must take immediate and effective mergers to

16
00:01:11,719 –> 00:01:17,079
enable the provision of all gently needed
basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the

17
00:01:17,159 –> 00:01:22,799
adverse conditions of life first by Palestinians. The iced ger also ruled that Israel

18
00:01:22,840 –> 00:01:27,079
should take effective mergers to prevent the
destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence relating

19
00:01:27,159 –> 00:01:33,560
to acts of genocide. It would
be recalled that South Government in December twenty

20
00:01:33,680 –> 00:01:38,239
twenty three approached the International Court of
Justice allegend acts of genocide committed by Israeli

21
00:01:38,319 –> 00:01:44,519
soldiers in the Gaza Strip of Palestine. On October seven, twenty twenty three,

22
00:01:44,719 –> 00:01:49,560
a group of Palestinian fighters known as
Hamas inveded southern Israel, killing and

23
00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:55,280
injuring thousands of people, including soul
laders. Hundreds of persons were also kidnapped

24
00:01:55,319 –> 00:02:00,200
by the Harmas fighters. In retaliation, Israel launched both their and ground in

25
00:02:00,239 –> 00:02:04,359
vegion into the Gaza Strip, killing
more than twenty four thousands of people in

26
00:02:04,400 –> 00:02:07,400
the Palestine city of Northern Gaza,
and filed to continue the war until the

27
00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:13,199
entire Hamas fighters are killed, despite
pressure and call for seizfire by the international

28
00:02:13,280 –> 00:02:19,479
community. Africa. I recall that
on twenty nine December twenty twenty three,

29
00:02:20,199 –> 00:02:25,199
South Africa filed in the Registry of
the Court an application instituting proceedings against Israel

30
00:02:25,719 –> 00:02:31,960
concerning alleged violations in the Gaza Strip
of obligations under the Convention on the Prevention

31
00:02:32,039 –> 00:02:36,759
and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, to which I shall refer as the

32
00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:43,120
Genocide Convention or the Convention. The
application of South Africa contained a request for

33
00:02:43,199 –> 00:02:47,639
the indication of provisional measures submitted with
reference to Article forty one of the Statute

34
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:53,479
and to Articles seventy three, seventy
four and seventy five of the Rules of

35
00:02:53,520 –> 00:02:58,520
Court. In accordance with the usual
practice, I shall not read the introductory

36
00:02:58,560 –> 00:03:01,439
paragraphs of the order, which set
out the procedural history of the case.

37
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:07,919
I shall also omit or summarize some
other paragraphs. I shall therefore begin the

38
00:03:07,960 –> 00:03:19,159
reading of the order at paragraph thirteen. In the order, the Court begins

39
00:03:19,199 –> 00:03:23,039
by recalling the immediate context in which
the present case came before it. It

40
00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:30,120
observes that on seven October twenty twenty
three, Hamas and other armed groups present

41
00:03:30,159 –> 00:03:34,840
in the Gaza Strip carried out an
attack in Israel, killing more than one

42
00:03:34,879 –> 00:03:38,800
thousand, two hundred persons, injuring
thousands and abducting some two hundred and forty

43
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:45,080
people, many of whom continue to
be held hostage. Following this attack,

44
00:03:45,719 –> 00:03:51,280
Israel launched a large scale military operation
in Gaza by land, air and sea,

45
00:03:52,159 –> 00:03:58,080
which is causing massive civilian casualties,
extensive destruction of civilian infrastructure, and

46
00:03:58,159 –> 00:04:02,879
the displacement of the overall whelming majority
of the population in Gaza. The Court

47
00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:09,240
is acutely aware of the extent of
the human tragedy that is unfolding in the

48
00:04:09,280 –> 00:04:14,199
region and is deeply concerned about the
continuing loss of life and human suffering.

49
00:04:15,560 –> 00:04:20,319
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has been
addressed in the framework of several organs and

50
00:04:20,360 –> 00:04:27,000
specialized agencies of the United Nations.
In particular, reservations have been adopted by

51
00:04:27,439 –> 00:04:31,600
the General Assembly and the Security Council
of the United Nations referring to many aspects

52
00:04:31,680 –> 00:04:35,519
of the conflict. The scope of
the present case submitted to the Court,

53
00:04:35,560 –> 00:04:41,879
however, is limited, as South
Africa has instituted these proceedings under the Genocide

54
00:04:41,879 –> 00:04:47,319
Convention. The Court then turns to
the conditions needed to be fulfilled in order

55
00:04:47,360 –> 00:04:53,399
for it to indicate provisional measures.
With respect to the question of prima facial

56
00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:59,279
jurisdiction, the Court observes that it
may indicate provisional measures only if the provisions

57
00:04:59,279 –> 00:05:03,480
relied on by the U S applicant
appear Premifacia to afford a basis on which

58
00:05:03,519 –> 00:05:09,199
its jurisdiction could be founded, but
it need not satisfy itself in a definitive

59
00:05:09,240 –> 00:05:14,439
manner that it has jurisdiction as regards
the merits of the case. In the

60
00:05:14,439 –> 00:05:18,199
present case, South Africa seeks to
found the jurisdiction of the Court on Article

61
00:05:18,240 –> 00:05:23,839
thirty six, Paragraph one of the
Statute of the Court and on Article nine

62
00:05:23,879 –> 00:05:30,279
of the Genocide Convention. The Court
must therefore first determine whether those provisions Premafacia

63
00:05:30,839 –> 00:05:34,399
confer upon it jurisdiction to rule on
the merits of the case, enabling it

64
00:05:34,720 –> 00:05:42,399
if the other necessary conditions are fulfilled
to indicate provisional measures. Article nine of

65
00:05:42,439 –> 00:05:50,079
the Genocide Convention provides disputes between the
contracting parties relating to the interpretation, application,

66
00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:56,639
or fulfillment of the present Convention,
including those relating to the responsibility of

67
00:05:56,680 –> 00:06:00,759
a state for genocide or for any
of the other acts of numer in Article

68
00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:05,160
three shall be submitted to the International
Court of Justice at the request of any

69
00:06:05,199 –> 00:06:14,959
of the parties to the dispute.
End of South Africa and Israel are both

70
00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:19,079
parties to the Genocide Convention, and
neither of them has entered a reservation to

71
00:06:19,199 –> 00:06:26,160
Article nine or any other provision of
the Convention. The Court then recalls that

72
00:06:26,319 –> 00:06:30,879
Article nine of the Genocide Convention makes
its jurisdiction conditional on the existence of a

73
00:06:30,920 –> 00:06:35,959
dispute relating to the interpretation, application, or fulfillment of the Convention. A

74
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:42,800
dispute is the State of Israel shall
take all measures within its power to prevent

75
00:06:42,879 –> 00:06:47,160
and punish the direct and public incitement
to commit genocide in relation to members of

76
00:06:47,199 –> 00:06:53,240
the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip. The State of Israel shall take immediate

77
00:06:53,319 –> 00:07:00,480
and effective measures to ensure the provision
of urgently needed basic services and humanitarians assistance

78
00:07:00,000 –> 00:07:04,959
to address the adverse conditions of life
faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
