In a lengthy declaration filed with the International Court of Justice, Columbia - the second country after Nicaragua to intervene in the case says it’s not taken the decision lightly.
In a lengthy declaration filed with the International Court of Justice, Columbia says it’s not taken the decision lightly.
Columbia’s application came as Germany was on Tuesday defending itself in a separate case brought by Nicaragua in the world court - that it’s been facilitating Israel in its war on Gaza. It contends there are sufficient reasons to intervene in South Africa’s case as a party to the Genocide Convention, and says its ultimate goal is to ensure the fullest protection of Palestinians in Gaza.
It goes on to set out its interpretation of the matter and says states that are party to the Genocide Convention should do everything in their power to ensure the prevention, suppression and punishment of genocide.
