South Africa to take UK and USA to the ICJ for war crime complicity
The International Court of Justice.
I can’t find the source for this but here’s Skwawkbox:
A team of almost fifty South African lawyers is preparing a legal case to bring to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations’ top court, against the US and UK, for their complicity in Israel’s array of war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
South Africa’s successful ICJ case against Israel last month led to Israel being put formally on trial for genocide and resulted in a string of binding orders on Israel to stop its slaughter of Gazans and even to protect Palestinians from harm, as well as to ensure adequate aid reaches the strip’s 2.5 million people, many of whom are now starving and homeless.
Israel has flouted the rulings, continuing and even intensifying the mass murder and blockade, and is being supported in its flagrant disregard for international law by the UK and US, who are providing both material and financial aid, and giving political cover by refusing to condemn Israel’s actions or to call its crimes what they are, instead casting doubt on the mass deaths and brutality and denigrating the Court’s ruling.
Here’s Damo to put more flesh on these bones:
South Africa are heading back to the International Court of Justice at The Hague once more, this time the plan being to drag the US and UK there for complicity in genocide and coming just a day after Nicaragua announced that it too was taking the UK to the ICJ, will there be any… pic.twitter.com/uRogRolZem

This Site has been vocal in its support for the UK, at the very least, to be brought to book for complicity in genocide.
Rishi Sunak (himself aided and abetted by Labour leader Keir Starmer) sowed the wind and now it seems he’ll reap the whirlwind…
Except the International Court of Justice doesn’t have any muscle with which to support its rulings.
Any finding against the UK will have a huge effect on public perception, though.
It will tar this country’s government as a supporter of genocide and a flouter of international law.

At the very least UK and US will be once again shamed and condemned for their continuing collaboration and condoning fascist/zionist arrogant Israeli’s regime of systemic genocide against the Palestinians!
So much for carpet salesman Sunak constantly claiming ‘we believe in fairness!” Not forgetting that criminal Starmer who parrots the fascist tory dogma!
Source for this is Turkish outlet Anadolu Agency Mike. The news of this broke last month but it was waiting for the SA vs Israel ruling before they moved forward.
That puts an interesting complexion on it because it seems to me that evidence of UK/US complicity could only, really, be provided after the interim ruling had been made. So, now they’ve got the ruling, SA is preparing the case against our governments. Right!
Anadolu has been very good – that was the news agency that revealed the “beheaded babies” story was a lie, back in October.
