Current Affairs: ICJ says Israel must take steps to prevent acts of genocide but does not order for the ceasefire of the war

 The world watched closely as a panel of 17 judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest court of the United Nations, heard arguments earlier this month over whether Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, in a case brought forward by South Africa. Today, in a landmark interim order, the court determined that South Africa has legal standing and ordered Israel to “take all measures within its power” to prevent acts of genocide. This ruling has received mixed reaction from as expected and some saw it as a victory and others saw it as blow to the SA government. To understand how interpret the different reactions we’re joined by Adv Mark Oppenheimer, Advocate & member of the Johannesburg Bar & Aaliyah Vayez, International Relations Analyst based in London, UK.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
