omissions alleged by south africa have been committed by israel in gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the convention. in light of the following, the court concludes that prima facie, it has jurisdiction pursuant to article nine of the convention to entertain the case. given this conclusion, the court considers that it cannot proceed to israel's replaced the case to be removed. 50 israel's replaced the case to be removed. . , israel's replaced the case to be removed-— removed. so that is the legal mechanics — removed. so that is the legal mechanics there _ removed. so that is the legal mechanics there about - removed. so that is the legal mechanics there about why l removed. so that is the legal. mechanics there about why the removed. so that is the legal- mechanics there about why the court has ruled that it can intervene in the case. the court also ordered israel to take measures to punish direct incitement of genocide in its war on gaza. the direct incitement of genocide in its war on gaza-— war on gaza. the court considers that river guide _ war on gaza. the court considers that river guide to _ war on gaza. the court considers that river guide to the _ war on gaza. the court considers that river guide to the present i that river guide to the present situation, israel must in accordance with its obligations under the genocide convention, in relation to palestinian in gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent

the commission of all acts within the commission of all acts within the scope of article two of the convention in particular, a, killing groups of members, be causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, see, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part and d, imposing measures intending to prevent first within the group. the court recalls that these act for within the scope of the article two of the convention, when they are committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part the group as such. the court further considers that israel must ensure with immediate effect that its military forces do not commit any of the aforementioned acts. the court is also in the view that israel must take measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to the

acts that could be considered genocide or killing members of a group, causing bodily harm, affecting conditions excited to bring about the destruction of the group, preventing birth. it is not saying you need to stop your war, its is a need to fight it in a very different way. ezra has been saying throughout that it is fighting it within the —— israel, within the constraints of international he married terry law and this is the un's most senior court saying that they are not doing that. —— international humanitarian law. without prejudicing the consideration the law give to south africa's petition in the long period. africa's petition in the long eriod. �* , ., africa's petition in the long eriod. �* , . ., period. are very grateful for your anal sis. period. are very grateful for your analysis- you _ period. are very grateful for your analysis. you mentioned - period. are very grateful for your analysis. you mentioned the - period. are very grateful for your i analysis. you mentioned the israeli government there. we will be hearing in around an hour's time from mark wright gave, he speaks for the israeli government. you are watching

bbc news. we had in watching a ruling in the international court of justice that has been given a provisional ruling on a case bought by south africa against israel, a case of genocide. one of the most serious war crimes, if not the most serious war crime that can have action brought against it. the icj ruled against the state cases. we can go live now to the hague and our correspondent, anna holligan who has been watching proceedings in the court. talk to us about the reaction when these preliminary rulings were given. these preliminary rulings were civen. ~ , _, given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there _ given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there was _ given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there was very _ given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there was very quiet - given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there was very quiet as - given. we were inside the courtroom. reaction there was very quiet as all . reaction there was very quiet as all the journalists were trying to follow exactly what this means. what the judges follow exactly what this means. what thejudges have follow exactly what this means. what the judges have ordered follow exactly what this means. what thejudges have ordered is follow exactly what this means. what the judges have ordered is that israel stick to its obligations under the genocide convention, something that actually israel has

maintain it has done throughout this entire process, ever since it responded to the hamas attacks on the 7th of october. so just to run through what thejudge the 7th of october. so just to run through what the judge said, she ordered that israel must take all measures within its powers to prevent any genocidal acts. it must ensure there are no statements that could be seen as incitement to genocide. i am just looking at some of the reaction, three already from various human rights groups. this is being seen as a victory for south africa, which brought this case under the genocide convention and yet all thejudges are under the genocide convention and yet all the judges are really doing is saying that israel must uphold its existing obligations, something its existing obligations, something it says it is a ready doing. to bring you a reaction from human rights watch, they say the world courts landmark decision put israel and its allies unnoticed that immediate action is needed to prevent genocide and further atrocities against palestinians in

gaza. to remind you, genocide is the intent to destroy in whole, in part, an entire ethnic, racial, religious or national group. that will be dealt with later on. the merits of the case. this is purely about the provisional measures requested by south africa, designed to prevent any escalation and any actions that could constitute genocide under the genocide convention. galina could constitute genocide under the genocide convention. anna holligan, who is in hate _ genocide convention. anna holligan, who is in hate for— genocide convention. anna holligan, who is in hate for us. _ genocide convention. anna holligan, who is in hate for us. thank - genocide convention. anna holligan, who is in hate for us. thank you - who is in hate for us. thank you very much for us —— the hague. let's go live to south africa. thank you very much for being with us. what is your immediate reaction to this ruling by the icj?— your immediate reaction to this ruling by the icj? good afternoon. the rulin: ruling by the icj? good afternoon. the ruling actually _ ruling by the icj? good afternoon. the ruling actually vindicated - ruling by the icj? good afternoon. | the ruling actually vindicated south africa's consign about the possibly that this genocide going on in gaza. that's one. but the judgment was

quite lengthy and selling out what they think it is i may be going, including statements made by senior israeli officials and so on. so the take from those is that the response military of israel is occupying power to take up measures to prevent genocide. i think that is what everyone takes out of that. of course, it was expected that the court would interfere with what is essentially the security council, to what a ceasefire, south africa didn't get that but south africa what at least the great power it requested and the majority ofjudges have voted in favour south africa's view. ., ., . ,., . have voted in favour south africa's view. ., ., ., ., view. you mention an important point there. there — view. you mention an important point there, there was _ view. you mention an important point there, there was no _ view. you mention an important point there, there was no order— view. you mention an important point there, there was no order of- view. you mention an important point there, there was no order of the - there, there was no order of the ceasefire stop in many ways, south africa wouldn't have expected that but it is certainly something it would have wanted. is there a

feeling of will there be a feeling that this doesn't go far enough in the court could have done more? in the court could have done more? in the court could have done more? in the absence of a ceasefire judgment, the absence of a ceasefire judgment, the responsibility is placed on israel's take appropriate measures to prevent genocide. i think that is enough on its own. you would know there is that it been a debate in there is that it been a debate in the council around a ceasefire. of course, israel takes out of this judgment the fact that it was ordered to cease the hostility immediately. —— wasn't ordered. but there are immediate measures, including evidence, it has been very bad ruling for israel, in my view. it does not have enforcement powers,

can issue this ruling but it does not have enforcement powers. israel has not only said that it is a ready doing its utmost to prevent harm to civilians but it has also said that it may not adhere to any icj ruling. how will south africa react if that comes to pass? it how will south africa react if that comes to pass?— how will south africa react if that comes to pass? it would be a very big problem _ comes to pass? it would be a very big problem in _ comes to pass? it would be a very big problem in terms _ comes to pass? it would be a very big problem in terms of— comes to pass? it would be a very big problem in terms of public- big problem in terms of public perception of israel, if they really refused to implement any of the measures that the court came up with. to lose out in terms of the face round the world. but really, the question of israel expected not to honour this is something else. of course, article 59 the court spells out that it is advice but it is very prudent advice.— out that it is advice but it is very rudent advice. . ~ , ., , . prudent advice. thank you very much a bein:

existence of a serious case of genocide against the palestinian people in gaza. the south african government therefore calls on other states and says they must act independently and immediately invent genocide by israel and to ensure that they are not themselves in violation of the genocide convention by helping israel. they call on other countries to stop funding and arming israel. so that is taking it on a bit because south africa is calling on other countries, you had a minister, the foreign minister, saying that israel has powerful friends. the south african government's statement says it hoped israel will comply with the order of the court but as he had the minister saying, she is not confident israel will. and therefore, she is calling on other countries that are closed israel, powerfulfriends on israel, she is calling on them to ensure that israel does comply.- she is calling on them to ensure that israel does comply. let's talk a bit more — that israel does comply. let's talk a bit more about _ that israel does comply. let's talk a bit more about that _ that israel does comply. let's talk a bit more about that because - that israel does comply. let's talk a bit more about that because on| a bit more about that because on paper, this case, south africa

versus israel, south africa on the half of the palestinians, as it sees itself but really it is not as simple as that. both countries have friends in the corners. here are south africa working in this regard? who supported it in its legal case? there are a range of countries. various countries in the middle east, there were other countries throughout the islamic world. also countries in south america. with regard to israel, the british government expressed criticism of south africa's case. that is going to be very interesting now because the case that the court has said south africa has a plausible case, they have indicated provisional measures, they have asked israel to take steps to stop potential genocide in gaza and they didn't

order a ceasefire, which is what south africa asked for but as you had to foreign minister saying, she will not expressed disappointment with the order, despite the lack of a call for a ceasefire. her view was that in order to comply with the measures that had been indicated, a ceasefire would actually be necessary because south africa's case is that the action that are taking place are genocidal, the actual military operation that is taking place. so how view is that in order to comply with the measures that are there, a ceasefire will be necessary anyway. but i think as you were saying, this does now set up a conflict, notjust between south africa and israel that between countries that have seen this case as meritless in countries that supported south africa's case. as we know, the court has not ruled on whether israel is committing genocide but it has said it has a plausible case and asked for these provisional measures. let’s plausible case and asked for these provisional measures.— plausible case and asked for these provisional measures. let's go live to the court _ provisional measures. let's go live

let's have a listen to what
