subjected palestinians to decades of discrimination, leaving them with the choice of displacement, subjugation or death. two days later, the uk asked the court. not to offer an opinion at all on the legal consequences of israel's occupation, unfortunately the uk came with a political arguments and here we are in a legal body, unfortunately their legal argument was very weak and we believe that the court will dismiss it, the israeli practices and measures and its presence in the palestinian territory is unlawful and unlawfulness should have consequences. this icj case was prompted by the un general assembly in december 2022 and it is from another icj case filed by south africa which has accused israel of genocide in gaza, outside the court, activists showed the support to besieged palestinians during all days of proceedings. there's also not an excuse for the other countries to say, well we are not complying

with this um legal system that we uh all agreed upon. i'm here to to just show the support to uh to say to the whole world that the genocide. stop and this is the only way actually to to uh to support our people in in palestine in gaza. the court is expected to issue its advisory opinion on israel's occupation of the palestinian territories within six months, despite having no binding force, the court's opinions nevertheless carry great legal weight and moral authority. however, it must be said the icj has no enforcement on. max chivili, press tv, the hague. a us service member has set himself on fire outside the israely embassy in washington dc and protest against 144 days of the regime's genocide in gaza and our bureau of discretion is advised for these uh

last september, the 22nd shanghai cooperation

organization summit successfully concluded in the uzbek city of samarqand with a formal inclusion of iran as a permanent member of the organization. major step for tehran, the membership was however belittle by critics as a move of merely symbolic significance that would bring no benefits in the country's economic sectors, given the security-based nature of the organization on the one hand and bevy of sanctions on the islamic republic of iran on the other hand. now, few months into iran's official membership in the sco, has the country had any improvement in its economy, or as predicted by some political pondants, was it useless for tehran in pragmatic terms? has the country been better position to neutralize sanctions without making concessions to the imposers of those sanctions, or is it disappointed by the organization, still scrambling to find new ways so as to cushion the blow of cruel

sanction? meanwhile, what are tehran's obstacles to benefit fully from its sco membership? these and more on this edition of iran today. the shanghai cooperation organization was originally formed by beijing and moscow as a counterway to the united states influence. the sco's primary goal is to neutralize common threats to the national security and territorial integrity of member states from separatis and radical movements, but to rule out the possibility of any economic benefits is just jumping to conclusions.

although the shanghai cooperation organization was formed as a result of security concerns, the concept of. security itself has expanded over time to cover other areas not traditionally considered as security related ones. today security is not merely a military or intelligence issue, but it incorporates a wide range of issues from cyber security to trade security. our countries share approaches on the most pressing issues on the international agenda and come out with a coordinated position in the un and regional organization. together we have managed to achieve tangible results in the development and interaction in the economy, trade, industry, science and high technology, environmental protection, cultural humanitarian areas and
