"Global Ramifications of Israel's Non-Compliance with ICJ Ruling on South Africa's Case"
The ICJ's Order in the case of South Africa v. Israel has legal implications for third States, potentially obligating them to prevent violations of the Genocide Convention in Gaza and avoid complicity in genocide. The Order establishes a real and imminent risk of irreparable damage to rights protected under the Genocide Convention, prompting calls for targeted sanctions, diplomatic pressure, arms embargoes, and legal challenges to military assistance. The obligations of third States flow directly from the Genocide Convention, requiring them to prevent and punish genocide, and not commit any acts listed in Article III. The ICJ's findings underscore the urgency for States to take concrete action to ensure compliance with the Order.
