JVL Introduction
The ICJ has delivered its judgment, and issued a series of provisional measures that require Israel to comply with the 1948 Genocide Convention, allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and act against those who issue genocidal statements.
We will carry analyses of the judgment and its implications in the coming weeks but for now repost this Al Jazeera article by Justin Salhani, outlining the main elements of the judgment and reactions from a variety of quarters to it.
“While the ruling itself does not call for a ceasefire,” says Salhani, “it could make it harder for Israel’s allies to continue to stonewall global efforts to bring the war to a halt.”
