Research output: Non-textual / digital / web - outputsWeb publication/siteAcademic

Abstract

On 29 December, almost three months after the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel and the ensuing Israeli military strikes on the Gaza Strip, which had by then resulted in the deaths of more than 21,000 people and more than 55,000 wounded or injured, the Republic of South Africa initiated legal proceedings against the State of Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), alleging Israel was violating the Genocide Convention in the Gaza Strip. South Africa also urgently requested the Court for provisional measures to prevent irreparable harm before the Court would hear the merits of the case. The ICJ promptly scheduled hearings on this request on 11 and 12 January 2024, which received worldwide attention.
