icj was held in 1946 after world war ii.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 plintif in this case, was very optimistic about the legal processing of the case. 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 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. entious and partial, the applicants presentation of these facts is it's analogous to the second provision

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 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. 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. 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 israe

the icj's temporary orders can be referred to the un security council. that is exactly what the algerian government is trying to do. 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 processed. 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

look at the the way that this is unfolded, we're going to give you some examples as seen through the icj in terms of uh the way that it has exercised uh that again when it comes to the occupied west bank, if we can take a look at the graph here on the wall, this is the way that the icj has come about it, it's obvious that the icj through the rulings that it has given has deemed the occupied west banks violations by the israel regime as illegal, so that that is uh something that they have ruled. now when it comes next to what the icj has done in its ruling, it has said that israel is exploiting uh certain uh factors. um force displacement is a result of the regime, the was exercise its violations, water resource exploitation is another, you also have land annexation that has taken place and also rights violations uh this for self-determination of palestinians is something that uh that that it has done. now let's take a look at uh the third and final way of our look in terms of how israel has also ruled uh the way that it has come about uh against the palestinians, it's the ruling has said

look at the the way that this is unfolded, we're going to give you some examples as seen through the icj in terms of uh the way that it has exercised uh that again when it comes to the occupied west bank, if we can take a look at the graph here on the wall, this is the way that the icg has come about it, it's obvious that the icj through the rulings that it has given has deemed to the occupied west banks uh violations by the israel regime as illegal, so that that is uh something that they have ruled. now when it comes next to what the icj has done in its ruling, it has said that israel is exploiting uh certain uh factors, um, force displacement is a result of the regime, um, the was exercised its violations, water resource exploitation is another, you also have land annexation that has taken place, and also rights violations, uh, this for itself determination of palestinians is something that uh, that that it has done, now let's take a look at uh, "the third and final way of our look in terms of how israel has also ruled uh the way that it has come about uh against the palestinians, it's

israel of genocide in gaza at the international court of justice, icj. ironically, israel dismissed the accusation as baseless. on january 26th, the icj ordered israel to do everything in its power to stump the genocide in gaza, but refrained from issuing a siss fire order. however, it made no difference. as this regime does not heat any rulings or resolutions, as january drew to a close, there was no hope for an end to the genocide in gaza. the headlines rocket barrages strike israel's bases and settlements, including major military intel base near tel aviv. israel's indiscriminated strikes kill more women and children across gaza, raising the death doll from the regime's genocide to over 41,900.

and the icc is that the icj first of all can only get non-binding decisions and the icc doesn't have any enforcement mechanisms and ultimately even though it's not a creature of the united nations on security apparatus does what the security council tells it to do um it's not so much a question of what international law has to say about any of this we've heard from the leadership in many many countries, all of whom have clearly taken very detailed advice from the most capable international lawyers and largely reach the conclusion that these are polligerant illegal wars bordering on probably encompassing slow and very much planned genocide. the issue isn't whether they're illegal, the issue is, well what can anybody do about it? what for example can the icg? they do about it, well nothing, the icj depends on the security council to enforce any decisions it makes, which are in any event are not binding and of course the security council sees the five permanent members with the the power of veto, which is overwhelmingly exercised disproportionately by the us, not to achieve the objectiv

yes, the icj case is very important one, is a critical one, and hopefully there will be some sort of these other parties as well is that there's still more that south africa can do and we have people coming out like in this demonstration but the parliament also it has to be very clear about the stance and it has to absolutely size with designing all right stay safe hassan thank you press tv correspondent there hasan syria joining us from a uh a live protest. protests in cape town, south africa. now the israel regime forces have carried out fresh raids in several areas across the occupied west bank. at least one palestining was shot dead after a troops stormed village of wadi alfada near the city of tubas. they also abducted number of palestinians and we earlier spoke to our romala correspondent nakamed for your details. the raids have not. up over here in the west bank since the hours of the midnight where the iof has raided to karam city raided al khalil it is precisely to the area of butummar and batula also raided ramala through many villages the iof is making a contact or a direc

on january 26th, the icj ordered israel to do everything in its power to stump the genocide in gaza,ut refrained from issuing a sistfire order. however, it made no difference. as this regime does not heat any rulings or resolutions, as january drew to a close, there was no hope for an end to the genocide in gaza. the leader of iran's islamic revolution awards the order of fat medal to irgc commander of the air space division over the anti-israel operation true promise. as well, resistant movement launches fresh missile attacks against israel, in response to the regime's continued aggression against lebanon. the senior ham's official.

been able to stop them from doing all all the rest of the genocides and what about the icc and the icj? that those great beacons of international law have that they took them maybe a week or two to condemn pu uh for his invasion of ukraine and put him on some list of international war crimes or other and it didn't take them long, but where is there where is the ruling after the south africans presented sort of basically? open shut case, a comprehensive uh set of evidences to show that israel was committing genocide and these uh leaders were war criminals, well where is the arrest warm for netanyahu, where are where is the icg icj uh on the uh on pulling up israel for those, at least they could on the international stage uh make a song and dance of it, so at least the world confirms even more what israel is, they haven't even been dared to do that, so the un, these kinds of agencies like the... vcw or the ia and i carry naming them, all of them have been infiltrated, they were all originally created by the anglazionist west in order to supplement the power of state power of those global

there talking to us from bairut. mariam, thank you. well uh, let's talk a little bit more about the icj and what they have held against the um israeli regime. we're going to take a look at some of those uh stances. um, now they have not held back when it comes to the way that they have blasted the israeli regime for its crimes, including the apartthy practices. as you you see in this uh particular legal consequence of the construction of wall statement that has come out in terms of a summary uh the 204 advisory opinion found israel's separation wall and settlements on occupied palestinian lands illegal. now in terms of the next piece of uh information on this aside from the icj's lack of enforcement, unfortunately the rulings mean nothing of third states and uh international community fail to hold israel accountable uh and uh in a move that that was blasted, the israeli kenness actually came out and rejected through a resolution the establishment of a palestinian state. the resolution said the creation of a palestinian state would pose an existential danger to israel, that's what they s

there talking to us from beiroot. mariam, thank you. well uh, let's talk a little bit more about the icj and what they have held against the um israeli regime. we're going to take a look atuh some of those uh stances. um, now they have not held back when it comes to the way that they have blasted. israely regime for its crimes, including the party practices, as you've you see in this uh particular legal consequences of the construction of wall statement that has come out in terms of the summary uh the 204 advisory opinion found israel's separation wall and settlements on occupied palestinian lands illegal. now in terms of the next uh piece of uh information on this site from the icj's lack of enforcement, unfortunately the rulings mean nothing if third states and uh international community fail to hold israel. accountable uh and uh in a move that was blasted, this really connesset actually came out and rejected through a resolution, the establishment of a palestinian state, the resolution said the creation of palestinian state would pose an existential danger to israel, that's what they

file, also coming up to wrong size is determined to, to vent, to defend itself off the israel carries icj which how they have tree strikes on military targets. officials say the attack killed full members of the force, but the damage is limited. wisdom, how is straight the or that welcome to the program? i'm jack patrick. the pro russian georgian dream polity looks to have one parliamentary elections seen is crucial for the former soviet republics. future preliminary official results give them just on the 53 percent of the vote. the countries pro european union opposition says the results for falsified and the election was stolen. but peggy, the ruling georgia, dream party is celebrate to the 3 pro missing georgians, what they call a european future. i mean, this is more than a 1000000 of our citizens came to the polling stations and supported peace. our country's truly bright and european future. george and people are the main office of this victory. it looks like it was, but the judge in a position disputes both of the commitment of the ruling party to such a future as well as its victo

the grammy winning seen an actor, chris chris dawson has died at the icj advise you guys. not phase ralph cover is not a rugged good looks and death writing style. he became a country music superstar and an acting a list of appearing in his movies like a star is born and blight. a chris christopher son performing his most famous song. me and bobby mcgee, on the hollywood walk of fame in 2013. 0 my to california. the secret of my soul, the beloved country star will be remembered doesn't renee, so it's mine. born in brownsville, texas, in 1936 as a young man, christ office, and was a talented athlete in a rhodes scholar. when he also had a student in the army before making his break and music in nashville, in the 19 seventy's writing hits for himself and other country legend such as janis joplin and johnny cash. he also made waves as a successful act. his performance with barbra streisand and the 1976 film a stall is boon, put in family and the fun them into of hollywood stalls. because everybody's trying to figure out how to get next to somebody you know, and uh, and all th

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.

about year now, and none of it, they they did not call israely actions illegal, when when the icc and icjgiving the zianist regime missiles, mean all they had to do was to stop providing it with missiles, hamas by itself would have finished the zin, had the had the zianist regime run out of missiles given to it by the western hejamanic fronts, and and now they are condemning iran's retaliation as illegal, and they're telling, they're saying that, oh, you know, basically iran is in the wrong, and it's very interesting that with all this self-restrained iran practice, because first iran waited for a long time since the murder or the cold blooded murder of leader ismail hania in our land on our soil and you know the targeting of our guest in our soil, the violation of our integrity, so basically iran waited and waited because this western hijamanic fronts was saying that um there is a possibility of cease fire and iran was trying. to give it a chance to make sure as few civilians are killed as possible because of the way you know this whole you know basically the holocaust in palestine was t

are you are you referring to the icj? their their conclusion ? icj? their their conclusion?you said earlier that you you think i'm being very trusting. yeah. and basically i am being very trusting. and i asked the question i'm trusting that the british government under this, this leadership and the previous leadership don't have an obvious, really bad motive for doing this. and you say you're trying to say that it's all kind of woke lefty anti—colonialism, making the labour government doing it . making the labour government doing it. surely making the labour government doing it . surely that's not why doing it. surely that's not why the conservative government started the whole process under the prime ministership of liz truss. >> just because you're a conservative doesn't necessarily mean you believe in this nation. that's one of the things we've seen over the last 14 years. and if you're asking me to believe that the people in the fco, in the foreign and commonwealth office and other parts of the civil service believe in in our national community, why is it that, as they w

israel in the icj for the crime of genocide. we have also seen waves of israelis leaving the entity and seeking citizenship elsewhere. even zionist historians like uval, noah, harari, are predicting the end of zionism. was that faithful day last october, the beginning of the end for the zinist project in palestine? joining me in the studio, as usual is residence expert david miller who's widely regarded as the uk's preeminent scholarly critic of israel. david's a senior research fellow at the center for islam and global affairs at istanbul zame university and is a co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch. our guest contributor today is the investigative journalist patrick henningson who founded the independent news and analysis website 21st century wire. welcome to the show. david the alaxa flood was an unprecedented operation by the palestinian resistance wasn't it? it certainly was. i mean. let people forget, they think is being hamas and of course hamas is the leading force in the resistance, but there are six or even

know today uh south africa is also uh spearheaded and that that many countries have stood behind its icjgaza, imploring the regime not to partake any uh brought that case uh initially against israel and the court actually ordered the not to uh conduct any activities in gaza that would be considered genocide, but the israeli regime completely ignored that court order and then later also south africa brought another chapter to that same file against uh the israeli regie. and that was not to invade the southern city of rafa because there were too many displaced palestinians uh sheltering in southern gaza, but uh once again the court ruled in favor uh of south africa's demand, but once again the uh apartide entity in tel aviv refused and went ahead and invaded, but nevertheless uh this the pro-palestinian uh movement and voices in south africa are fierce and strong because the of the countries uh... history and its relationship with the apartide system, with an apartide government and with all the marginalization and oppression and suppression that comes with apartide. and many south african

i want to tell you, he will lose everything, not because the icj ruled that he's a war criminal. "not because the un told him to stop countless times, not because the us will tell him stop massacring and slaughtering the people of the middle east, they don't care about us, he will lose because of the rockets that will shower the israeli people that are already angry, it would be one of two, they either take him down or they all go down together, because yesterday iraq was sending rockets and drones, yeman." and lebanon and as per the army and all the footage that has been exposed about hisbollah's capacity in the in the past years, they still have countless, tremendous diverse kinds of missiles and rockets they did they didn't use, they still did not, what still did not enter the battlefield are the directed missiles, this still like showering the targets like that, there's also global public opinion including us public opinion, which is now changed, there will be more protests and there were protests all around the country by the way, it was national day of action here in the un

should afp news agency reported that south africa has filed evidence of genocide with israel with the icj happening in northern gaza. that's right, the international _ northern gaza. that's right, the international court - northern gaza. that's right, the international court of i the international court of justice — this was brought at the end of last year in december — that is really forces are carrying out enough genocide. they have now predicted 750 pages of evidence, including 4,000 exhibits and annexes. they're about civilian deaths. the forced displacement, all of which they say amounts to breach of the genocide convention. i should say what israel says is that is all nonsense. the israeli prime minister has said in the past it is not we who have come to perpetrate genocide, it is hamas. "it would murder all this, and it could." that's what benjamin netanyahu has said. what ben'amin netanyahu has said. �* �* ., ., ~' what ben'amin netanyahu has said. �* �* ., ., ~ ., said. ben brown, thank you for takin: us said. ben brown, thank you for taking us through _ said. ben brown, thank yo

the un security council, you know or any other other avenues that we have, whether you're talking of icj or icc, there is going to be no justice because all these entities are put out there by the imperialist colonial settler ideologies and so the us, the uk, that the what we are hearing, there is a conservative parties annual meeting going on at the moment here in britain and the kind of language we are hearing from the leadership hopefuls is really really scary because they are competing just like what we were seeing in the united states, they are competing against each other to show who is bigger supporter of israel, they are suggesting things like if you know if we have don't pledge allegiance to accept israel then we should be deported from this country, so i don't see any manner in which using any of the... these institutions that are western based to bring in justice, so i think unfortunately the only way is resistance and the narrative has changed, there was a huge feeling everywhere that after they had assassinated say nasrullah that there was a feeling of victory and expecting

the uh israeli regime such as the ic ruling against the zianist regime, what happened following the icj ruling? netanyahu took place uh in the un meeting inside new york, i mean you would think that he would at least be arrested for the for these war crimes, right? but netanyahu not only uh took part in the un meeting, but he also used the un as a military base from the un, he made call and ordered the wiping out of an entire neighborhood in south lebanon, so... i mean, not only are these places uh basically not doing anything to protect these civilian lives and only paying lip service to human rights, but they're also being used as a military basis to order the assassination of civilians. so this is what we're facing, because they are no longer talking about directly, for the most part, and i mean, of course, the zionist regime uh has shown more and more of its beliefs more openly, but for the most part, all of these... colonial entities, they were not talking about basically uh others being some being slaves to to other people, what they have been saying is that they've been saying we

these leaders with this ethical if you like element and on the other hand the decisions of the icc and icj is also providing them with the the legal element also if they want to take these decisions, so i don't know why they are still, it's a matter of interest, it's a matter of the intimidation of the united states, it's the matter of how the west is seeing all these countries, so because of that we like previously we've been talking about you, the domination of the west over the whole world, and that's what should uh start to be changed, so i think that these countries..." should start taking action rather than statements in in order to stop this entity and this regime and this kind of you know colonial power, but apparently the colonial mentality in the west is still there and they are still supporting the same contin colonial mentality which in this entity. exactly, thank you so much, well as you just said robust decisions must be made, firm decisions must be most. but earlier we had word of support, word of concern from the uae, uae government regarding the situation in lebanon and ga

security council, in other words, the ability to get an enforceable judicial outcome be in the icc or the icj depends on the... forcement at the end of the day, and that in turn depends on the united nations being willing to do something, and nato taking its instructions in some small part from the united nations, and of course, the us, more than any other permanent member of the security council, continuously runs political interference and uses his vedo power in the security council, not to achieve. "the aim set out for the united nations and the security council in particular by the un charter, but to promote its own ideological view of the universe and us hegimony, and of course zionism plays a very big part in all of that, this ultim, i mean the whole problem ultimately started because a whole bunch of north american and european and to some extent russian jews." uh decided they wanted to go live in uh uh you know in palestine um and from that time on whatever they did was overlooked whether it was assassinations attempted assassinations of us presidents actual assassinations of british

the icj ruled unanimously. not in charge, never been lawfully own, sovereign of these islands.putting more pressure on the british government. the years britain said, you have got your history wrong, mauritius. you never had the right to these islands, history shows this has been in continual of british occupation since the 19th century. mauritius has always disputed that. this test that might be successive british governments has said, once these islands are no longer needed for security purposes, once the americans don't need that base any more, we will hand those over to mauritius. in a sense, they have already acknowledged that mauritius had a claim. now they have honoured that. you have been — they have honoured that. you have been there, _ they have honoured that. you have been there, what is there on this island?— on this island? they are stunning- _ on this island? they are stunning. they - on this island? they are stunning. they are - on this island? they are - stunning. they are tropical, things you read about, almost like a fairy tale. beautiful. marine protected zon

. >> it's painful to read, and i think that people, you know that there is, you know, the icj has ruled it's apartheid. you're now experiencing it first-hand. i want to read a couple passages. this is a quote from your book. you said buried in the claim is another notion, that the worth of a person is defined by their possession of a homeland incorporated as a state. the palestinians lacking such a state had no right to the land and perhaps no rights at all. the charge of being without a homeland or stateless was often lodged at jews themselves. zionists sought to answer the charge. their model was america's pilgrims or minutemen and the role for palestinians was thus predictable. you talk about the fact that in substitution for the nazis who give them the claim, they substitute what you called savage nazis. i feel like that is the way arabs, muslims, and palestinians have been portrayed in the american media my whole life. faceless, nameless evil and they don't have a story, a past, a nation. for you as a journalist, what is your critique of the way we think about palestinians, the way

they're not doing that, even when the icc, the icj, the international criminal court is demanding thesein gaza and beyond. >> you have taken a lot of heat for -- you have recently wrote an op-ed sort of doubling down on what you did on social media, saying that you believe that despite everything, despite everything that you just heard rula say, it's still a better choice to vote for kamala harris than donald trump. why? >> yeah, i have always used to the heat. i like it spica. i agree with rula that president biden has been a moral failure on gaza. there's no question about it. he could have and should have and still can do much more to stop what i believe is an ongoing genocide. and donald trump will be far worse on that issue and every or issue as el. he will be genociding and a fascist. just for the united states, i want to remind people donald trump said i think islam hates us in 2016. he's the one who said i saw muslims celebrate 9/11. total bs lie. he's the one who promoted the birther conspiracy against president obama. just today, jd vance, his vice president, on joe rogan's po

is putting israel on trial on— is why the icj is putting israel on trial on charges of genocide.eli ambassador has rejected palestinian statehood aspiration since _ palestinian statehood aspiration since 2013, she says this land is ours, _ since 2013, she says this land is ours. all— since 2013, she says this land is ours. all of— since 2013, she says this land is ours, all of it is ours, she is trying — ours, all of it is ours, she is trying to— ours, all of it is ours, she is trying to achieve global recognition for illegal settlements. she called the nakba and arab lie, this is not a partner— the nakba and arab lie, this is not a partner for peace. you mentioned historical events, _ a partner for peace. you mentioned historical events, and _ a partner for peace. you mentioned historical events, and is _ a partner for peace. you mentioned historical events, and is a _ a partner for peace. you mentioned historical events, and is a long - historical events, and is a long serving cabinet minister, you have seen many different middle east crises comes through, where do you think th

getting on board as we, people like uh the governments in spain for example, they're supporting the uh icj case, these uh the international bodies are now ruling uh with ever more stronger rulings against the zionist entity, they're not only ruling that there is what appears to be a plausible case that the zionists are committing genocide uh but they're also ordering the zionists to immediately leave occupied territory, giving them a short window of opportunity to do so, and the united nations passed a resolution similarly, making exactly the same demands, that is, reiterating, this there have been resolutions for decades that this occupation of the land that they stole post 1967 is absolutely illegal in the eyes of the entire world, there may be debate, unfortunately, about the original zionist theft of land with their beginning of the palestinian holocauster the nakba 1948 uh, but everyone agrees that the land they stole in 1967 can never ever belong to them, and so the united nations has not only reemphasized that, but then ordered them to leave, and so israel has always been a internat

you have the icj non—binding decision and we need to abide by that.saying we need about hard power as well as soft power. and the danger is here is that we're trading one and not getting the benefit of the other. >> in the papers today, boris johnson is quoted as saying, we need another referendum in this country on the european convention on human rights. now , convention on human rights. now, i'm not sure whether we should be in it or not. i'm certainly not wedded to the idea. i don't . not wedded to the idea. i don't. is a referendum the right way forward? i just wonder if we understand enough about the implications of leaving this, is this not an expert field? >> i mean, first of all, to say, i mean, it's interesting because bons i mean, it's interesting because boris johnson's grandfather was actually involved in the european commission on human rights, which drew up the echr. so there's an interesting ancestral link there. but yeah, i don't think that many people would support a referendum, even those that robert jenrick who want to leave the eu

he reportedly pushed the icj to consider whether israel was an apartheid state and he reportedly representedim our government's top legal advisor. mauritius is allied strongly to china. in fact, chinese direct investment in mauritius was £35 million in 2020, taking its total cumulative investment to a whopping £667 million. more than 18% of mauritius total imports came from china that year. so starmer and david lammy have just handed china a huge boost, haven't they? they did not debate this in parliament before signing off on it, which implies that they were trying to avoid the democratic process. they told the speaker of the house, lindsay hoyle, that they wanted to get this sorted now because the general election in mauritius starts tomorrow. so they seem to care more about a foreign parliament than our own. they didn't consult the people of the chagos islands, apparently, who said that they only found out about it through the media. apparently this deal, quote addresses the wrongs of the past. well, something, isn't it, that our foreign secretary is utterly , utterly obsessed with. >> bu

this icj ruling that you refer to was non—binding.ed by the conservatives. we must acknowledge that. but when david cameron was foreign secretary for the short time that he was, he completely , completely put he completely, completely put a stop to it. the idea that when we try to speak to the foreign, commonwealth office, they kept going back and saying, oh, it's too soon to speculate. and then a week later they come out with a week later they come out with a decision, shows that they were willing to do this from day one. i don't know which student activists are actually running our government, but these kinds of decisions really undermines the government because. because if you're going to make the case that the right foot should be rightfully given back to the mauritians, then how can you then make the case that what happens to the people that actually live there? so you're saying you're right, this is who you rightfully belong to, but you rightfully belong to, but you get no autonomy. but again, this is supposed to right a wrong.
