The International Court of Justice has refused to order #Germany to stop sending #weapons and aid to Israel, rejecting a request from #Nicaragua.
Nicaragua brought the case arguing that by providing arms and other support to Israel, Germany is failing to prevent possible genocide against Palestinians in Israel's war with #Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
So much for genocide preventation.
Once again we witness the impunity of the apartheid genocidal regime of Israel and it's global network of supporters.

Deutschland der Beihilfe zum Völkermord im Gazastreifen beschuldigt

#Nicaragua has initialized proceedings against #Germany at the #Hague for being accomplices to genocide and their failure to uphold their commitments to the Genocide Convention:

Today in Labor History February 21, 1934: Augusto Cesar Sandino, Nicaraguan independence fighter, was assassinated by Somoza’s Nation Guard. While in exile in Mexico during the early 1920s, Sandino participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the anarcho-syndicalist union, he adopted their red and black logo as the colors for the revolutionary Nicaraguan flag. The Sandinistas, or FSLN, who overthrew the dictator, Anastasio Somoza, in 1979, were named for Sandino.
#ICJ / Legal analysis: Why Nicaragua’s Article 62 Intervention in South Africa v. Israel is Potentially Unhelpful (Juliette McIntyre)
#Nicaragua has applied to intervene in the case South Africa v. Israel under Article 62 of the ICJ Statute, arguing it has a "legal interest" due to the erga omnes partes nature of the Genocide Convention obligations. However, the ICJ has not previously accepted arguments based solely on a general legal interest in the law. Nicaragua also seeks to intervene as a party, which requires establishing a "jurisdictional link", likely via Article IX of the Genocide Convention. But it is unclear whether Nicaragua can establish the existence of a dispute with #Israel, which may be required to establish jurisdiction.
McIntyre concludes that while Nicaragua's application may be well-intended, it is ultimately unhelpful. Unlike Article 63 interventions, Article 62 interventions do not provide an automatic right and may drag out proceedings as the admissibility must be fully argued. Even if admitted, Nicaragua would gain full party rights, further complicating the case. Yet the Court's final decision would be no more binding on Israel than otherwise.
Thus, Nicaragua's actions may hinder rather than help address the human tragedy in Gaza.
