South Africa to file its memorial to the ICJ

South Africa will be filing its memorial to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) next month ( October 2024). South Africa intends to provide facts and evidence to prove that Israel is committing the crime of genocide in Palestine. 

This case will continue until the court makes a finding. While the case is in progress, we hope that Israel will abide by the court’s provisional orders issued to date.

The case represents a growing  global effort towards ensuring peace in the Middle-East. Several countries, namely, Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya and Colombia have all joined the South African case against Israel.
