The Role of International Law in the Israel-South Africa Dispute
The principles and norms of international law are being used as a neutral framework to assess whether Israel is meeting its agreed standards. South Africa has filed a case with the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention. This not only initiates a case for the court's determination but also requests provisional measures, akin to a temporary injunction, to obtain immediate relief. The case solely focuses on Israel's actions, not Hamas' actions towards Israel, as it cannot concern Hamas.
