Human Rights Watch calls for sanctions on Israel for its non-compliance with ICJ
Human Rights Watch called on the international community to impose sanctions on Israel for not complying with the International Court of Justice's order to take precautionary measures in the Gaza Strip to prevent "genocide."
The organization said through its account on the “X” platform, “Countries must impose targeted sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, in order to comply with the order issued by the International Court of Justice.”
The organization noted that Tel Aviv "did not comply with court orders and did not work to deliver aid and basic services to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."
At the end of last January, the International Court of Justice asked Israel to take all measures to prevent any acts that could be considered genocide, to ensure that the Israeli army does not carry out any acts of genocide, and to prevent any public statements or comments that could incite the commission of genocide in Gaza.
It called on it to take all measures to ensure the arrival of humanitarian aid, and not to throw away any evidence that could be used in the case against it.
On December 29, South Africa filed a lawsuit before the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing “genocide crimes” in the Gaza Strip, before the court announced its rejection of Israel’s demands to drop the case, and ruled temporarily to obligate Israel “to take measures to stop the genocide and introduce Humanitarian aid."
