success has been committed by israel in garza, appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the conventions. in light of the phone. the court concludes that prima facia it has jurisdiction pursuing to article 9 of the convention to entertain the case. given this conclusion, the court considers that it cannot a seat, israel's request with a case to be removed from the general list. the court turns next to the question of standing himself back, okay. court notes that the respondent did not challenge the standing of the applicant in the present proceedings. in the case concerning application of the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide, the con, the v myanmar were article 9 of the genocide was genuine of the genocide convention was also involved. the court observed that all states parties to the convention have a common interest to ensure the prevention, suppression, and punishment of genocide by committing themselves to fulfilling the obligations
1:16 pm
contained in the convention. such common interest implies that the obligations in question are owed by any state party to all the other state parties to the relevant convention. their obligations area on this part is in a sense that each state party has an interest in compliance with them in any given case. the common interest in compliance with irrelevant obligations under the genocide convention entails that any state party without distinction is entitled to invoke the responsibility of another state party for in reggie, for each of its obligations. erica, on this part is, accordingly, the court found that any state party took a genocide convention may invoke the responsibility of another state party, including through the institutional proceedings before the court. with a view to determining the alleged failure to comply with its obligations ever on this partridge under the convention,
1:17 pm
and to bring the failure to the end. the court concludes prima facia that south africa has standing to submit to it. the dispute with israel concerning alleged violations of obligations under the genocide convention. the court then turns to the question of the rights whose protection is sought in the link between such rights and the measures requested. it recalls that its power to indicate provisional measures under article $41.00 of the statute has as its object, the preservation of the respective rights claimed by the parties in a case, pending its decision on the merits. there it follows that the court must be concerned to preserve by such measures the rights which may subsequently be judged by it to belong to either party. therefore, the court may exercise this power only if it is satisfied that the rights of sorted by the party requesting such measures or at least plausible at this stage of the
1:18 pm
proceedings. however, the court has not called upon to determine definitively whether the rights which south africa wishes to see protective resist. it need only decide whether the rights claimed by south africa and for which at 6 protection are possible. or over a link much must exist between the rights is protection is sought and the provisional measures being requested. the court recalls that in accordance with article one of the convention, all states parties there to have undertaken to prevent and to punish the crime of genocide. article to provides that i quote, genocide means any of the following acts committed within 10 to destroy in whole or in part a national s nicole racial or religious group as such. a killing members of the group be causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. see

deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction and holler in part d. imposing measures intended to prevent verse within the group. e, forcing forcibly transferring children as a group to another group. and of course, pursuing to article 3 of the genocide convention. the following acts are also prohibited by the convention conspiracy to commit genocide, direct and public incitement to commit then, genocide, attempt to commit genocide and complicity from genesis. so the provisions of the convention are intended to protect the members of a national ethnical racial or religious group. from acts of genocide or any other punishable acts enumerated in article 3. the court considers that there is a correlation between the rights of our members of groups protected under the genocide convention. the obligations incumbent on state parties there too,
1:20 pm
and the right of any state party to seek compliance there with by another state party. as the court has stated, in other cases, in order for acts to fall within the scope of article 2 of the convention, the intent must be to destroy at least a substantial part of a particular group. this is demanded by the very nature of the crime of genocide. since the object and purpose of the convention as a full is to prevent the intentional destruction of groups. the parts are part targeted must be significant enough to have an impact on the group as a whole. the palestinians appear to constitute a distinct national ethnical, racial or religious group enhance i protective group within the meaning of article 2 of the genocide convention. the court observes that, according to the united nations sources, the pet palestinian population in the gaza strip comprises over 2000000 people.
1:21 pm
palestinians in the gaza strip form a substantial part of the protective group. the court notes that the military operation being conducted by israel following the attack of 7 october 2023 has resulted in a large number of deaths and injuries, as well as massive destruction of homes, the forcible displacement of the vast majority of the population and extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. slow seekers relating to the guys of script cannot be independently verified. recent information indicates that 25700007 killed. over 63000 injuries had been reported. over 360 housing units had been destroyed or partially damaged, and approximately 1700000 persons have been internally displaced. the court takes note in this regard of the statements by the united nations under

1:24 pm
2000000 people. the entire population of gaza. menu will carry lifelong scars. both physical and psychological. vast majority, including children, are deeply traumatized. overcrowded and unsanitary unrest. shelters have become home to more than 1400000 people. they lack everything from food to hygiene to privacy. people live in, in humane conditions. where's diseases are spreading? including when children, they live through the unlivable and the with the clock ticking fast towards family . the plight of children and because it is especially heartbreaking, an entire generation of children is traumatized and will take years to heal. thousands have been killed, named and orphaned. hundreds of thousands are deprived education. their future is in jeopardy with far reaching and long lasting consequences.
1:25 pm
the unreal commission in general also stated that the crisis in gaza is i quote, compounded by the humanizing language and the quote. in this regard, the court has taken note of a number of statements made by senior israeli officials. it calls attention in particular to the following examples. as a 9 october 2023, mister, you'll have kalonde defense minister of israel announced that he had ordered a complete siege of guys of city. and there then that there would be no electricity, no food, no fuel, and that everything was closed. on the following day minister, golan stated, speaking to his rally troops on the guards of border. i quote, i have released all restraints. you saw what we are fighting against. we are fighting human animals. this is the isis of gaza. this is what we are fighting against. gaza will return to what it was before. there will be no home us. we will
1:26 pm
eliminate everything. if it doesn't take one day, it will take a week, it will take weeks or even months, we will reach all places, end of quote. on 12 october 2023, mister isaac headsets, president of israel stated, referring to gaza. quote, we are working operating militarily according to rules of international law, unequivocally. it is an entire nation out there that is responsible. it is not true . this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. it is absolutely not true. they could have risen up. they could have fought against that evil regime, which took over guns that included time. but we are at more, we are at war. we are at war. we are defending our homes. we are protecting our homes. that's the truth. and when a nation protects its home, it fights and we will fight until we break their back. the end of quote,
1:27 pm
on 13 october 2023. mister israel costs then minister of energy and infrastructure of israel stated on x, formerly twitter, i quote. so we will cite the terrorist organizations from us and destroy all the civilian population in gaza is ordered to be immediately. we will, when they will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world end of quote. the court also takes note of a press release of 16 november 2023, issued by 37 special raptor tours independent experts and members of working groups, part of the special procedures of the united nations human rights council, in which they voice alarm over i quote discernibly genocidal and dehumanizing rhetoric coming from senior israeli government officials. and of course, in addition, on 27, october 2023. the united nations committee on the elimination of racial
1:28 pm
discrimination observed that it was highly concerned about the sharp increase in races paid speech. and the human ization directed at palestinians since 7 october in the courts. few, the aforementioned facts and circumstances are sufficient to conclude that at least some of the rights claimed by south africa and for which it is seeking protection or plausible. this is the case with respect to the right of palestinians and gaza, to be protected from acts of genocide and related prohibited acts identified an article 3 and the right of south africa seek israel's compliance with the latter's obligations under the convention. the court then turns to the condition of the link between the plausible rights claimed by south africa, and the provisional measures requested as it considers that by their very nature,
1:29 pm
at least some of them for visual measures sought by south africa, are aimed at preserving the plausible rights is a search on the basis of the genocide convention. in the present case, namely the right of the palestinians in gaza to be protected from acts of genocide and related prohibited acts mentioned in article 3 and the right of south africa to seek israel's compliance with the letters obligations under the convention. therefore, a link exists between the rights claimed by south africa that the court has found to be plausible, and at least some of the provisional measures requested. the court turns next to the question of risk of a reputable prejudice and urgency. it notes that pursuant to article $41.00 of it statute, it has the power to indicate provisional measures when irreparable prejudice could be caused to rights, which are the subject of judicial proceedings, or when the alleged disregard of such rights might entail irreparable consequences
1:30 pm
. however, the power of the court to indicate provisional measures will only be exercised if there's urgency in the sense that there is a real, an imminent risk that a reputable prejudice will be cause to the rights claimed before the court gives its final decision. the condition of urgency is met when the ex, susceptible of causing irreparable prejudice can occur at any moment before the court makes the final decision. the court must, therefore consider whether such a risk exists at this stage of the proceedings. the court is not called upon for purposes of its decision on your request for the indication of provisional measures to establish the existence of breaches of obligations under the genocide convention . but to determine whether the circumstances require indication of provisional measures for the protection of rights under that instrument. as already noted,
1:31 pm
the court cannot at this stage make definitive findings of fact and the right of each party to submit arguments with respect to the merits remains unaffected. by the court's decision, on the request for the indication of provisional measures, the court recalls that has undermined general assembly resolution 961 of 11 december 1946. i quote, genocide is a denial of the right of existence of entire human groups as homicide is a denial of the right to live of individual human beings. such denial of the right of existence, shots, the conscience of mankind, results in great losses to humanity in the form of cultural and other contributions represented by these human groups. in this country, from moral law and to the spirit and names of the united nations. and of course in view of the fundamental values sought to be protected by the genocide convention
1:32 pm
. the court considers that the possible rights in question in this proceeding, namely the right of palestinians in the gaza strip to be protected from acts of genocide and related prohibited acts identified an article 3 of the genocide convention and the rights of south africa to seek israel's compliance with the latter's obligation under the convention, or of such a nature that prejudice to them is capable of caused, causing irreparable harm. during the ongoing conflict senior united nations officials have repeatedly called attention to the risk of further deterioration of conditions in the gaza strip. of the court takes notes instance of the letter dated 6 december 2023, whereby the secretary general of the united nations brought the following information to the attention of the security council. i quote, the health care system and gaza is collapsing. nowhere is safe in gaza, mid constant bombarding by the israel defense forces,
1:33 pm
and without shelter or the essentials to survive. i expect public order to break to complete the breakdown soon. due to the desperate conditions rendering even limited humanitarian assistance in possible. and even worse, situations could on full, including epidemic diseases and increase pressure from mass displacement into neighboring countries. we are facing a severe risk of collapse of humanitarian system. the situation is fast, deteriorating into a cap catastrophe, was potentially irreversible implications for palestinians as a whole. and for peace and security, in the reason regions such an outcome must be avoided at all costs. and the quote. on 5, january 2024, the secretary general wrote again to the security council, providing an update on the situation and in the gaza strip and observing that i quote, sadly devastating levels of death and destruction continue. and of course,
1:34 pm
the court also takes note of the 17 january 2024 statement issued by the unreal commissioner general upon return from his 4th visit to the gaza strip. since the beginning of the current conflict in gaza, i quote, every time a visit cause i witness how people have sunk further into despair, with a struggle for survival, consuming every hour in the quote. so the court considers that the civilian population in the guise of stress remains extremely vulnerable. it recalls that the military operation conducted by israel after 7 october 2023 has resulted inter alia in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and the destruction of homes. schools, medical facilities and other vital infrastructure as well as displacement unimaginative scale. the court notes that the operation is ongoing and that the
1:35 pm
prime minister of israel announced on 18 january 2024. that the war i quote, will take many more long months, end of quote. at present, many palestinians in the guise of strip have no access to the most basic fluid stuff, potable water, electricity essential medicines or heating. the world health organization has estimated that 15 percent of the women giving person guys a strip are likely to experience complications and indicates that maternal a newborn death rates are expected to increase due to the lack of access to medical care. in these circumstances, the court considers that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the gaza strip is at serious risk of deteriorating further before the court renders its final death. the court recalls israel's statement that it has taken certain steps to address and
1:36 pm
alleviate the conditions faced by the population. in the guys district court further notes that the attorney general of israel's recently stated that a call for intentional harm to civilians may amount to a criminal offense including that of incitement. and that several such cases are being examined by as rarely, law enforcement authorities. well, such steps are to be encouraged, they are insufficient to remove the risk that irreparable prejudice will. because before the court issues is final decision in the case or in light of the foregoing, the court considers that there is urgency in the sense that there is a real, an imminent risk that there referable credit as will because to the rights found by the court to be plausible before it gives its final decision. the court concludes on the basis of the aforementioned considerations, that the conditions required by its statute for it to indicate provisional measures
1:37 pm
are met. it is therefore necessary, pending its final decision for the court to indicate certain measures in order to protect the rights claimed by 1st africa that the court has found to be plausible. the court recalls that it has the power under its statute when a request for provisional measures has been made to indicate measures that are in whole or in part other than those requested. in the present case, having considered the terms of the provisional measures requested by south africa and the circumstances of the case, the court finds that the measures indicated need not be identical to those requests . the court considers that with regard to the present situation is real. most in accordance with its obligations under the genocide convention in relation to palestinians in gaza. take all measures within its power to prevent the
1:38 pm
commission of all acts within the scope of article 2 of the convention in particular, a killing groups that members of the group be causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. see deliberately inflicted under group conditions of vice calculated to bring about its physical destruction in holland, in part and the imposing measures intend to prevent 1st within the group. the court recalls that these acts fall within the scope of article to the convention when they are committed with the intent to destroy it and holler in part the group as such. so the court further considers that israel muscle sure with immediate effect, that it's military forces, do not commit any of the aforementioned decks. the court is also the view it israel must take measures in its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to the members of the palestinian group.
1:39 pm
in regards this trip, the court further considers that israel most takes immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by palestinians in the gaza strip. israel must also take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of article to an article 3 of the genocide convention against members of the palestinian group and the gaza strip. regarding the provisional measure requested by south africa, that israel must submit the report to the court and all measures taken to give the fact to the order of the court recalls that it has the power reflected an article 78 and the rules of court to request the parties to provide information on any
1:40 pm
matter connected with the implementation of any provisional measures. it has indicated in view of the specific provisional matters. it has decided to initially indicate the court considers that israel must submit a report to the court and all measures taken to give effect this order within one month as from the date of this order. the report so provided shall then be communicated to south africa, which will be given the opportunity to submit to the court its comments. there are support recalls those orders and provisional measures under article $41.00 is the statute have binding effect and does create international legal obligations for any party to whom provisional measures are addressed. the court, we have firms. that's a decision given the present proceedings, know a pre judges the question of the jurisdiction of the court to deal with the merits
1:41 pm
of the case, or any questions related to the admissibility of the application or to the merits themselves. it leaves unaffected the right of the governments of the republic of south africa and the state of israel to submit arguments, respect to these questions. the order then states that the court deems it necessary to emphasize that all parties to the conflict in the guise of stripped are bound by international humanitarian law. it is gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages of doctor during the attack and israel on 7 october 2023 and health since then by him us and other armed groups and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. i shall now read out the operative part of the order. for these reasons, the course indicates the following provisional measures, one by 15 votes to to the state of israel shell in accordance with its obligations
1:42 pm
under the convention under prevention and punishment as the crime of genocide in relation to the palestinians and gaza. take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of article 2 is a convention. in particular, a killing members of the group be causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. see deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole, for in part, in the imposing measures intended to prevent 1st, within the group in favor. president donahue, vice president of oregon, judges tompkins, behind the noun, yourself sch way. bundari robinson salon. he was sour. milton charlesworth, french judge ad hoc was sent against judge 17 day judge at hawk rock

1:47 pm
a move to the non political be at the and then take it to physical mouth. the mom could you go see somebody's joint? those unit do goals, but the conditions exist. stones development is a this quick show physics that 30 bucks you. okay. you have been watching live coverage there. this ruling coming in from the us top court, the international court of justice, the court deciding to order israel to immediately stop whether or not it's going to institute these provisional measures shining was on us is, is here in the studio for us turning what have we just heard the court announce, hold in, court managed to walk a very fine line of allowing the south african claims to be accepted. but then at the same time, i put a lot of pressure on israel. it is granting and that the president of the court has that in length gave us all the, the reasoning. but 1st of all, she's stablish to south africa. has a claim, has standing for the court because they and they have
1:48 pm
a real hard petition to basically harass catering or not. they said no, many teachers diction, correct. so maybe we're wondering why would south africa bring itself into that? it's not a direct part of the conflict, but as, as part of the, you know, because it's signed to the entire genocide treaty, just like israel. all countries that are part to that treaty are allowed and requested actually to prevent any genocide x being taken and also to punish to those countries. so do take it. so 1st of all, that will establish and then immediately meaning that the claim that africa, the south africa brought in part of the court is valid that the court says we do accept the need for intervention here because we see them might be, it does not necessarily mean that the court accept the claims for genocide and it doesn't even mean that south africa has met a minimum official to prove that. but they do believe there is enough in what have been presented to them to be afraid of the fact that ongoing fighting might damage
1:49 pm
the case in such a way to institute some provision, correct? correct. and therefore, they are allowed to visual measures that will hopefully allow them the way they, the, the courts. he's at the very dry legal standard to allow the proceeding not to be, you know, inflicts an effective date and weight. not cause any damage to the debates. and the ongoing court case, which will take many, many more years immediately what it means for israel is that it needs to be there. several within 1st of all, the court, the $15.00 to $2.00 rulings, meaning we have 17 judges at the court. of 15 of them are the, the presiding judges, and 2 are the ad hoc judges that have been joining the case. one isn't, is really one if one is a south african one, and we're seeing that on almost all the votes on provisional measures, we see 15 to 2, sometimes even 16 to one with the 15 or majority of, of, of, of churches. and the only ones objecting, i think, is really a judge, which you should be probably expected. and you come to
1:50 pm
a judge who was joining many of his of, of, of the, of the, the, the stand against the majority is real, would need as expected if you've been to hearing a lot of the chatter in israel and the last couple of weeks since the court has addressed the claims for the 1st time. they were not expecting the case to be completely dismissed, but the question was, what would be the provisional measures that the, that will be ordered. so now israel and we've, we've heard the court just outline at they're, um, they said that israel must take effective measures to prevent genocide and it algorithm is the number of them. and then it said that israel is now ordered to report back within a month, and then both african will have the opportunity to respond to the correct response to that report based upon what we've been hearing from israel's top politicians. and also, you know, the attorneys, who are, who are in that court room right now, shiny. how do you think that things now move forward and proceed for as well? first of all, for as really many ways this client case is already uh,
1:51 pm
as many see it as is, is, is lost in a sense that the very fact that south south africa have managed to bring the case to the court. and to link israel to the genocide, especially israel, the country has been found that out in the aftermath of the hall cost was always seen the genocide as, as the, as the primal send and, and paying for, for it. so being connected with that, that for itself is something that is quite an achievement for south africa. but moving into what we're seeing here is that it has quite a lot of leeway, okay, to appease the court without too much looking hard to get back to the head because we were hearing in french how some of these were going to be instituted. but now we're hearing again in english again from the court, and we just wanna listen to what's being said.
1:52 pm
okay, excuse me everybody. um i'm seeing our reporter who is actually standing in front of the head right now. the see a shelton, i don't know. she can hear me, lucy, i hope that you can hear me. we've just been hearing this read out now from the court. tell, tell us a little bit about your initial reaction. oh yeah, i think what is remarkable here, what do you have to take into consideration that the quote has been saying that they are free to find their own provisional matters and that's what they did. and um, so that the guys been asking for a hold of all the military operations, the court is not granting this provision of address, but the court is asking you show to do everything. um that it can to prevent genocide in the gaza strip. but it has also um, set audit trail to it off more humanitarian assistance and also to prevent genocide and also to punish the incitement to genocide. and then as to be,
1:53 pm
as we have already heard from you guys there that you started, it's supposed to write up a report on what it's doing and bring it to the court within one months and south africa will get that report. and you start is also ordered to collect evidence for the data case. it is important to say that this is and the quote or it's a stress that, that this is not yet a decision on the marriage of the case. it just means that the things that it is proud of the board. so it's every car brought forward and, and it's reasoning. it also use statements made by history is truly officials to prove the possibility. so to say, so at this stage this is um, but what strikes me of the reading or what i would like to point out? what are the likely implications of the ruling that so they also made a point about that and repeated that orders off the court are legally binding. we have heard that before. so every,
1:54 pm
every member of the genocide convention has to follow. and in this case, i always ask for candies, or it has to follow to what the court is saying, but at the same time, the court itself does not have an execution mechanism. so it is legally binding, but if they don't photo, um it's, it doesn't have a very strong execute of um to, to dick's 3. what do you say? yeah, and it's just the 1st step as we've been hearing, and it's important to remember of, of a case that is likely to drag on for years before we get the ruling on the actual genocide charges that have been brought against israel by south africa. so we see just walk us through what the next steps are now going forward and, and what we might be able to see and what sort of time table yes sir, it's really important to stress that this is only a 1st step and that this is also um like that this is the threshold for the implication of provision and mattress is much lower than it would be for the
1:55 pm
marriage of the case which will to be in the end, the breach of the genocide conventional not. and this is really what experts say is a really complicated case to prove and cases here. the court take a couple of years. and this is all it's, i'm probably because how, how to prove this special intention of the genocide. it's a complicated thing. but in the next steps, the court will have to decide on its jurisdiction. he has been deciding this today, every met facia, as the lawyers say. so like, or at a 1st look, he decided testers dixon ad. but this will be scrutinized later again. and then that would also be a statement from both parties. those follow, they will be hearings and then the code will take its time to make a judgement and decide whether indeed there was a breach off the genocide convention by use royal or not. lucy or shelton in the heck, thank you. and for more now,
1:56 pm
let's get the view from israel. we're tanya kramer is standing by. so what is the likely reaction where, where you are going to be, tanya? while we're waiting for this reaction, we assure um there will be a reaction to this. so i think for many this was a very on a scene as a rather a strong description of the humanitarian situation in garza. and i think of one of the main issues as we heard from my colleagues here, that this court case will continue, that the case was not dismissed. and that was one of the issues you know, that we heard so many tons of them is very the officials that they think that they should should not even be put on being discussed on the level of the i c, j in the hague. so this is one of the things, and i think it was interesting to hear that and that you know, some of the ministers and even the president of
1:57 pm
