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 corfuu channel incident. the judges of the court were 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 are hardly showcross, that battle for freedom from fear. in which all
3:04 pm
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-eyed europeans. the most important case of the court was dealing with humanitarian disaster between the eastern part of the jordan river and its mediterranean coast. dentious and partial. the applicant's presentation of these facts is. it's an
3:05 pm
analygus to the second provisional measure in the bosnia and myanmar cases respectively. 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?
3:06 pm
israel has been at war in the gaza strip since october 2023. killing civilians, the elderly, women and children, unethical tricks. be effective in war such as attacking safe places, imposing blockades 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.
3:07 pm
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 committed in gaza on the basis that there is annelation or cleansing of a civilian population and also the the the the the crews of israel. ministers and the generals of the army aimed to to to to to anhelate 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 freering. no armed attack a state territory,
3:08 pm
no matter how serious, even an attack involving atrocity crimes can provide any justification for. or defends two 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 measure. 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
3:09 pm
today listened to the state of israel. israel suggest that the genocide convention is primary for their protection and 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 vertic. 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
3:10 pm
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 resolution'. became ineffective, it 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... 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.
3:11 pm
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.
3:12 pm
a piece of rock from roben 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 a lasting impression in memory of mandela in this palace, here before you, not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you.
3:13 pm
after many years, 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.
3:14 pm
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 apartment. 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 victory. it wasn't surprising,
3:15 pm
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 antisemitic and its decision proves that it does not seek
3:16 pm
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.
3:17 pm
the claim that the court has no guarantees for implementations of its rulings is in
3:18 pm
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 council, 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 rela 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 admitted this fact about launching legal campaigns against israel. according to the
3:19 pm
report, many countries will cut off ties with israel based on the ruling. adding this is: 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
3:20 pm
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 hague court.
3:21 pm
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 ap from the final judgment of the hag court, the high capacity of the ruling can drag the regime's officials to national and international courts. in this building, the only thing that's needed is to raise these hands by invoking the resolution of the alliance for peace. it means that if in some case the un security council is unable to
3:22 pm
take appropriate measures due to the veto of one of its permanent members, when there is a threat to peace. breach of peace or an act of aggression, the un general assembly and the security council are tasked with international peace and security. and of course, referring to un resolution 242, which is the basis of many legal disputes regarding the israeli occupation becomes very important. although not all palestinian rights are fulfilled, it is an important clue for legal pressure on israel. what does the resolution say? on june 10th, 1967, following
3:23 pm
the six-day war between the arabs and israel, the un security council called for a ceasefire between the warring parties. israel, however, with support of the us, uk and france, did not retreat from its position. as a result of this behavior, un resolution 242 was was issued and the security council asked israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 war borders. this means the golan heights and the west bank of the jordan river and the gaza strip should be returned to syria, jordan and palestine, which hasn't been fulfilled so far. and outside united nations is prepared to join with all the other great power. soviet. union, united kingdom and france in a common effort to restore and maintain peace in the middle east
3:24 pm
saying to him, his motives are also are always crystal clear. indeed, his motives are, if i may say so, as transparent as his proverbs are obscure. in addition to these cases, the united nations can use its authority, such as article 22 of the un charter, to pile heavy pressure on the israeli regime implement the icj orders. effective media pressure on israel's crimes can lead to effective legal sanctions against
3:25 pm
israel, something that has happened several times in the un. a symbolic political move can become effective legal move and lead to revoke the israeli regime's membership in some human rights institutions and commissions, recommending economic sanctions, establishing special commission. and even creating a special court for israel or other legal capacities, what is also mentioned in article 22 of the un charter, the general assembly can establish such suborganizations as it deems necessary to carry out its duties, complete legal isolation, the tree of wishes in the yard of the peace of palace is where children write their... is on peace, is there something written about palestine in these papers? big events are first formed in
3:26 pm
minds, before they are created in reality. the day hitler saw the grandier of a great leader of the nazi army, he may never have thought that one day he would lose all his power, but all those people who saw him were sure that it was the... day that the nazis died in their minds and in reality. the legal campaign against israel is similar to that. increasing pressure on israel and changing people's view on the regime is very dangerous for israel's behavior in the future, because basically they engage in fascist behavior based on the story of the holocaust in people's minds, killing people in the world under the pretext of antisemitism. occupation. under the pretext of seeking refuge after the holocaust. israel is very interested in stories. the story of the oppressed and oppressed jews showed israel a
3:27 pm
permanent green light. stories and stories. it was a trick of the israelis to justify their behavior, but now in the corridors of the peace palace, some lawyers from south africa want to expose the deception by by the hollywood story. if the legal campaign continues, it can spell the end of israel. can the court issue an arrest warrant for benjamin netanyahu and the blood thirsty officials of the regime? this is an opening of justice that can turn the world upside down.
3:28 pm
october 7th marked new chapter in israel's history. they were stunned by the unexpected
3:29 pm
turn of events. now the big question is, can israel restore its shuttered image after the seismic shift in its narrative.
3:30 pm
