Dublin signs on to Gaza genocide case in the International Court of Justice, as part of petition first launched by South Africa.
The case was first launched in December, 2023, after South Africa’s government filed a brief with the United Nations court, calling for an investigation into Israel’s handling of the war in the Gaza Strip.
Since then, a number of other countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Maldives, Chile, Spain, Turkey, and Bolivia have signed onto the petition. The Palestinian Authority has also signed the petition, calling on the ICJ to intervene.
On Monday, Dublin joined the case, invoking Article 63 of the court’s statue, while adding no new allegations against Israel.
