including his puzzle of crimes, now many children were looking to the sky where instead of rain bombs were following them. the netherlands, the hague near the sorflet national park, peace palace, building constructed in 1913 with the help of andrew carnegy, scottish american financer. andrew of

believed that he who dies rich dies shameless. spend your wealth not on charity, but gifted to institutions that work for peace. and that is how the peace palace was constructed with his help to establish of justice in the world. justice, peace. "the first meeting of the international court of justice icj was held in 1946 after world war ii. the first case that the court was supposed to deal with, was the corfu channel incident. the judges of the court was..."

supposed to issue a fair verdict on the water conflict between albania and britain, a maritime confrontation that damaged british ships by albanian naval mines. britain, the plantif in this case was very optimistic about the legal processing of the case. attorney generals, that battle for freedom from fear, in which all men of good. will are now engaged, the judicial settlement of disputes on the basis of law and justice is an essential and indispensable. the case was closed. many years past, and probably the residents of the hague palace, or better known as the international court of justice, were not aware that the most important case that was going to be referred to the court was not one of those lawsuits related to blue eyeed europeans, the most important case of the... was dealing with humanitarian disaster

between the eastern part of the jordan river and its mediterranean coast.ous and partial. the applicants presentation of these facts is: a particular way, it's analogous to the second provisional measure in the bosnia and myanmar cases respectively: israel criminal criminal, israel criminal, of commenting on one of the most historic meetings of the court, the german and french governments say, we are deeply committed to respecting the international law and emphasize our support for the international court of justice. they respected a ruling

that in reality they had no faith in. what was the verdict and what story was it narrating? israel has been at war in the gaza strip since october 2023. killing civilians, the elderly, women and children, unethical tricks to be effective in war such as attacking...

safe places, imposing bloccades on the same regions and urban areas for attacks without considering the rights of ordinary citizens, using pressure on people as a tool by imposing sanctions on water and medicine. they all presented the world with dramatic moments that had not been shown in any historical genre movie. it was a massive genocide that israel engaged in. in the days when no one thought that legal capacities could be used to deal with this disaster, south african lawyers stepped in. there is a compelling argument that genocide is being uh committed um in gaza on the basis

that there is annelation or cleansing of a civilian population and also the the the the the quotes of israel ministers and generals the army. aimed to to to to unhilate the entire population of palestine from from the gaza strip, our founding father has been very clear that the south africa is not free until the people of palestine are free, no armed attack a state territory, no matter how serious, even an attack involving atrocity crimes can provide any justification for or defense to breaches. to the convention, along with the judges and witnesses, words also rose. december 2024 was a golden day in the hague palace. south africa submitted israel's

case on the war to the court and declared that israel committed genocide during the war in gaza and asked the legal authority to take measures to stop the israeli army from continuing the bloody aggression in the region, even temporarily. south africa argued that israel had violated its obligations towards the international treaty of the genocide convention. we have today listened to the state of israel. israel suggests that the genocide convention is primary for their protection and because because of that, it is not capable of violating its own provisions. the outcome of the legal effort was that based on the 1989 genocide convention, the icj, instead of using the legal terms of ceasefire, which refers to a confrontation, ordered that the genocide should stop.

germany, france, and other western countries that have supported israel had no choice but to diplomatically accept the verdict, at least in appearance. this place is different from the security council in legal terms. from 1948 to 2016, 225 resolutions have been passed in the security council on the issue related to palestine and the zionist regime's behavior, and more than 102 of the resolutions are against the actions committed by israel that violate international law, but all of them were vetoed by the us, and the resolutions became ineffective. means the security council as a political pillar of the united nations lacks the value of justice. the un general assembly can also be considered its legal pillar, because all members have equal votes and there is no

veto. the assembly's decision on palestine and its right to membership alone will not resolve the problem. legal and judicial words can rise together. so here the role of the icj, which is the judicial pillar of the un, plays an important role. here, it issues a judicial verdict regardless of the political situation. in the hague court, decisions are highly enforceable and have the effect of a trial. the icj has such a character that the governments cannot easily ignore its rulings, so the sound of the gavel in the main hall of

the peace palace, which is the icj's judgment hall, brought about an important event in the history of the israeli occupation. a piece of rock from roban island, where nelson mandela was imprisoned for many years, is in the peace palace as a reminder of his years of resistance against apartide, which shows that this court is sensitive. to some issues, at least for the layout of the peace palace accessories. now once again, south

africa left lasting impression in memory of mandela in this palace. before you, not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. after many years a legal capacity has been created that can put israel on trial for all of its violent and racist behavior. the issue

is not only the war in gaza. a few years ago, un special repertoire john dugard reported that a control system including separate roads, discrimination in infrastructure, legal rights and access to land and resources exists between palestinians and israelis in the occupied territories, which differs from the apartide regime, but has similarities with some. aspects of it. amnesty international said in a statement that israel has become an

apartide system and its treatment of palestinians is considered a war crime. racism, murder, genocide, these words now joined each other. the legal path of denouncing israel and completing the genocide case of the regime by setting up legal case in africa was a victory. it wasn't surprising, but unprecedented. does this mean that all legal efforts and international capacities should be used to condemn israel? definitely not. even if the gavel comes down as we speak, and the audience who are in this hall stand up as a sign of respect for the court's verdict and the most important words are prepared with appropriate legal loads to deal with israel, and in the room known as the red room. even if its words are adjusted, israel will not still accept it. netanyahu,

but the mere claim that israel is committing genocide against palestinians is not only false, it's outrageous, and the willingness the court even discuss this is a disgrace that will not be erased for generations. itmar bin gavir, the zionist regime's minister of internal security. the international court of justice is anti-semitic. and it's decision proves that it does not seek justice. it is true that the icj's interim orders are binding, but there are no executive guarantees for it. this claim is the point that israel is trying its best to stand on before the court's decisions. israel seeks to render fruitless all efforts and kill the motivation of the south african lawyers. they want escape the legal initiatives regarding their performance.

the claim that the court has no guarantees for implementations of its rulings is in continuation of this plan, and of course it is not correct from the legal point of view. the icj's temporary orders can be referred to the un security. that is exactly what the algerian government is trying to do about this case. algeria reiterates its full solidarity with its palestinian brothers and calls on the international community to take urgent action to come to the aid of the oppressed and persecuted to put an end to

this aggression and to relaunch the peace process. like a small snowball, when it is thrown from the top of the mountain, it has the ability to turn into an avalanche. the israeli publication, israel huyum, admitted this fact about launching legal campaigns against israel. according to the report, many countries will cut off ties with israel based on the ruling. adding this is like a dangerous snowball that the enemies of israel will widely exploit in the media and provoke public opinion against israel. the hebrew daily further notes that such a pressure may even force the us government to stop supporting israel in the war.

the concern the daily raised was realized after months and the us sought to protect itself from the fallout of israel's behavior which had legal repercussions. the uprising of words can continue, an international fact-finding committee can be established to monitor the implementations of the icj's rulings. according to the ruling issued by the icj, the israeli. regime is tasked to avoid destroying the evidence that proves genocide. the committee can become a media arm to ensure the implementation of the clause of the ruling at the hag court.

in the fourth geneva convention, it is explicitly stated that collective punishment is forbidden, attacking civilian hospitals is forbidden, attacking children is forbidden,

attacking safe zones is forbidden, so even apart from the final judgment of the... we have interrupted our regular programming, we're going to take a look at what is happening in australia, in particular we're looking at the pro-palestine protests that are underway there, given the fact that you have uh a day before the actual operation also flood uh the one-year anniversary to be coming up, we have uh shan abut uh joining us from uh the site of one of these protests that are happening there in australia in order to tell us uh what is going on there, well shana, welcome uh tell us where you're at and tell us what we're looking at from we understand these rallies are pretty big uh for the last 52 plus weeks australia has relentlessly protested and demanded justice for palestine. and now what we see is the extension of these protests as it marks one year of non-stop bombing and not stop war on palestine and now on lebanon and might might further increase to other parts of middle

east, so the the way people in australia has seen it is is humanitarian crisis and they're dealing it with it as as a humanitarian crisis and they are demanding again and again they're demanding that there should be immediate see fire, see fire because the st "the cost of everything that is happening is too high, the lives that are being lost, especially the women and children and everybody that the loss of life is is too heavy, and people in australia are are really not not happy and will not, will not ever accept this kind of a genocide, they believe it's a genocide happening and their country has not been able to stand and support. what they're trying to do at the moment is when they take to streets, they are trying to tell the world that we are not just what the australian government is. "we are here, we are the people of australia and we want to convey that we are with the people of palestine, we are with the people of lebanon, we are with the with the oppress people, we are with justice, there have been demands for

the past 52 plus weeks from these from these demonstrators, they have been taken to streets and today much one of the biggest ever protests that has happened in the history of of these protests in in in sydney, so tens of thousands of people, young, old, even babies in their in their..." the in their strawlers and and and disabled people walked just to demand from the government that it needs to take immediate steps to stop war crimes in palestine and now in lebanon, so people here demonstrators have put across some demands that i'm going to share with the viewers, it it it's become really very important for for the entire world and the and as the global demand for seas fire increases, it becomes very important that that people understand that the... world has come to one platform when it comes to humanity, when it comes to that humanity is at the stake, so the people in australia are calling for and to the support for israel,

israel occupation, they're calling for for for for immediately seizing any military, political or economical support that contributes to israel's occupation of palestinian territories, they ask the demanding from their government that they should recognize palestinian statehood, there should be a formal recognition of palestine. based on 1967 borders in line with the international law, there has been an increasing demand that that the government of australia should condemn violence against civilians, military attacks, force deviction and settlement expansion, human rights, human rights demolation and human rights uh issues that are taking place in in palestine and in lebanon at the moment, there should be suspended arm thads, australia should immediately stop selling and buying weapons and military technology to and from israel. so they believe that there should be increase in military aid, instead of doing these trade, there should be increase in humanitarian, sorry humanitarian aid for the people of uh, people of palestine and people

of lebanon, people here are demanding that people here should have the right to protest peacefully for the for the people of palestine and for the people of lebanon, and uh that that australian government must protect rights of palestine in international forums like the united nations. and it should hold israel accountable for the human rights violations that are taking place in palestine for the past so many decades, support for palestinian refugees is also growing and they are, they're asking the government to accept more refugees and they should have the right to return to the country, besides that there is a growing global demand for boycot and de deinvestment and sanctions, there's this global demand for bay that's boycott, divestment and sanctions, the people in australia are continuously calling their government that that it should at least the diversity champion that australia is, and it

should now immediately start to take its front seat and be a front runner when it comes to hold israel and the allies of israel accountable for the war plans that are happening in gaza and now in lebanon, yemen and now in in. iran so things on the ground look that people in sydney, people in australia are completely supporting human rights and they stand a global platform with the people of palestine when it comes to the rights of people of palestine, when it comes to considering that people of palestine must have their own land, deserve their own land and they also have a right to protect their own sovereign land like in other. countries have so this this the criminal criminalization there is a there's a huge demand that people uh in australia are making

to its government. that australia should step ahead in championing the cause to stop the immediate uh bombing, stop immediately the the human rights violations that is happening in gaza in lebanon and it should be the one that supports the solution that supports the solution of of palestine being a peaceful place on earth uh one of the things that has been controversial uh somewhat comes to these protests chahana is the fact that uh you've had uh, i guess authorities there or security forces perhaps uh through announcement uh to the protesters uh demanding that uh there should be no waving of the hisbollah flag or sayid hassan nasara that that would actually uh constitute an offense uh can you please tell us about what restrictions are in place there we understand i think the palestinian flag is okay as we see behind you yeah uh

"the way people of australia to streets other day, when the leader of of was martered, there was a huge number of people that took streets with the images of the lader natural with the hezballa flag and there has been a huge controversy that that hesbollah is one the band organizations in australia, however the lebanese muslim community has denied this and they are contesting it with. with with the authorities at the moment, but there have been strict restrictions on certain activities and and they have been telling all the organizers that security security agencies in israel have been telling all the organizers that they need to abide by whatever the australian law says and and they they continue to support that people of australia are taking to streets peacefully as long as they they have the flag of palestine

and they wave the flag of lebanon. really has no problem, but at the same time when they gave a flag of hezbulah, when they gave the flag that that belongs to a particular ideology, the australian government has raised the red flag and asked the demonstrators not to pull in any sort of a flag that creates trouble and that creates problem. the last week's protest, in the last week protest, the lady that was holding the flag was was called on by police and there has been some sort of investigation going on. but so far so good, good, the government has given clear instructions that these protests and demonstrations are the rights of people and people, people have right to speak for themselves and people have right to speak for whatever they feel, but as long as when it comes to the ideology, particular ideology, that's they have been asked to abstain from it, as long as they are supporting palestine in lebanon and they are opposing israel, it's all good for '
