Deliberately inflicting or may inflict? That is the question The latest verdict of the ICJ is, inter alia: 50. The Court considers that, in conformity with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. The State of Israel shall, in conformity with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and in view of the worsening conditions of life faced by civilians in the Rafah Governorate: (a) By thirteen votes to two, - 15 - Immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; In other words: military offensive (neither other actions) which may not inflict genocide is NOT to be halted per se. Since military offensive has in principle another goal than killing civilians; let alone genocide, Israel can continue its military offensive if its military offensive does not constitute genocide. Military offensive per se is aimed at destruction of the enemy military forces and may inflict its physical destruction in whole or part, but a military offensive as such is not regulated by the Genocide Convention. So, military offensive may inflict physical harm but is not necessary genocide, even if the intent of military offensive is to destroy the army of the enemy (but not civilians). Ergo: Israel can continue its military offensive if it is not aimed on destruction c.a. of the civilians in the Palestinian group in Rafah as a side effect. (Conditions of life that could bring physical dead or harm does refer to general conditions of life and not e.g. a direct hit by a projectile and the like (“collateral damage”) but you should think as things like inaccessibility to water or food etc. which, indeed, impact life conditions and could bring physical dead or harm to people (civilians in Gaza). However, military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, form not components of the legal definition of genocide. There are a lot of activities that “may inflict” on a group conditions of life that could bring its physical dead or harm such as a disturbance of a food or water supply chain or a longer lead time for medical care. This happens in most cases of war. For example a high number of military casualties will increase the lead time for civilians for medical care (even if this medical care is not related to the conflict as such, which is the case in pre-existing conditions; heart condition, cancer, chronic diseases). It’s clear that the ICJ misinterprets or broaden the legal concept of “genocide” and tries to impose more stringent boundaries on LOAC for Israel than other countries in a conflict by introducing a double causality potential (“may inflict”… that “could” …). In the Genocide convention it is formulated as follows: “(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part…” There is a huge difference between: “deliberately inflicting”…to “bring” its physical destruction (which constitutes genocide according to the Genocide convention) and “may inflict” that “could bring” its physical destruction. In the first case there is a clear intent in the latter case there is no intent, but something could potentially happen. Of course, Israel is not respecting such a conclusion of the ICJ because it obviously violates the nulla poena-principle and the rules of LOAC. The same holds for any other armed force in the world in a conflict. Would e.g. the army of the Russian Federation stop it’s special military operation activities because it may inflict on the Ukrainian group in Ukraine, or any specific kinetic spot along the 1,000 km contact line, conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part? Finally, we condemn all the violence in the world and believe that everyone has the right to be left alone.

The ICJ doesn't have that power. They issue orders on disputes between countries. In fact they have no enforcement provision. To enforce an ICJ order it would require the UNSC and of course there it would be vetoed by the US. The ICC is the court for individuals that commit war crimes. The ICC doesn't have enforcement authority, practically speaking, because they have to rely on members of the Rome Statue to arrest someone under indictment. For example, if the ICC issues the warrant for Netanyahu he can't go to a country that belongs to the ICC, as long as he stays in a nonmember state...

The world is blessed to have educated people like the ICC to help keep the checks and balances in perspective especially in a world that we live in today. Any law abiding citizens who are about doing right would welcome the ICC. If they are not law abiding citizens they will be against the human rights of other people who are suffering from starvation denied medical supplies and care to the degree that they assault drivers of supplies that are so badly needed. This is wrong.

This is a significant development! The court is ordering Israel to stop its offensive and to immediately open all land crossings to allow unimpeded humanitarian aid into Gaza, at scale.

One word FANTASTIC. The International Court of Justice has stood up for Mankind, the rule of law and a worldwide declaration that the Palestinian people matter. The rule of law must be applied and Israel must comply with the ruling. We await the International Criminal Court's ruling, and international arrest warrants must be issued against Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh. The Human Race is the winner today. NO COUNTRY, NO LEADER, NO INDIVIDUAL, NO DESPOT, NO DICTATOR IS ABOVE THE RULE OF LAW. 🙏

It appears that the State of Israel should be seen as a 'rogue state', and that the ICJ has grappled with the problem 'how to deal with such an animal'. Wikipedia (for what it's worth) tells me that it "is a term applied by some international theorists to states that they consider threatening to the world's peace." But to interpret that without bias, my dear Watson, is ELEMENTARY.
