Nicaragua requests to join the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice announced that Nicaragua has officially requested to join the genocide case filed by South Africa against the Israeli occupation entity.

“In its application for permission to intervene, Nicaragua stated that it had interests of a legal nature deriving from the rights and obligations that the Genocide Convention imposes on all states parties,” AFP quoted the court of justice, the highest court of the United Nations, as saying in a statement yesterday.

The Court added that Nicaragua stated that its decision stemmed from “the universality of the condemnation of genocide and the cooperation required to free mankind from such an abhorrent scourge”.

Nicaragua announced last month that it intends to join Pretoria in the lawsuit that confirms the violation by the Israeli entity of the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention of genocide against its continued barbaric aggression on Gaza Strip since last October.

In its request, Nicaragua called on the judges to rule that the authorities of the Israeli entity ” have violated and continue to violate their obligations under the Genocide Convention, to stop actions that would kill or continue to kill Palestinians”.
