so we will talk on behalf of uh, south africa. and it says similar a legal team, which also presented the case in january more than 4 months ago, making a compelling case why they think is trial is committing genocide in gaza. so now we're 4 months down the road and is a south africa says israel has just simply ignored the orders that the international court of justice imposed on them. these orders are actually binding, but the court has no way to enforce them. and not only did as well, not a follow up on these orders, the situation has even escalated according to south africa looking at the sold on the alpha. so they're basically presenting sweet new facts showing that the situation and rough life is sorry desperate. and it's also the last resort, the last refuge for the people in guys have a tool to hide basically from as well as roles via. ringback and so they say off the rough idea is normal guy. so, so they said this is a decisive moment for the product, stadium, people. and that's why they have urged at the international cou

reporter: south africa's lawyers were unequivocal. palestinians did not need words or diplomacy, they needed an urgent intervention by this court to ensure palestinians right to life under the genocide convention was protected. the reason why they are focusing on rafah in these provisional measures requests is because they say it is the last refuge which has not been destroyed. the only remaining center of humanitarian aid, host of one of the only functioning hospitals in gaza. therefore, they said rafah is central to sustaining palestinian life. without, there is no possibility of reconstruction. caitriona: let's talk about what is happening in the hague. we speak to the former chief precutor of the international criminal court. thank you for joining a spirit south africa is bringing a separate case accusing israel of committing genocide in gaza. on this matter, is seeking an order from the human's top court to order israel to stop its offensive and allow unimpeded access to gaza for aid workers and investigators. what does south afr

this is the 3rd attempt of south africa, which initially went to a c spot ordered by the court in south africa, this time around as tight and it's focus. i'm very much looking at rough. uh, there are other things in that, but i think the, the, the south africa wants most out of this is an order to stopping the roof or operation. the court has the option to adults everything, the south africa once or it has the adoption, the option to put food costs of what south africa once or come up with its own provisional meshes and put those in places the quote sort of. okay, so and then it measures all brought in by the quote. and if israel does a disobey is what is the world quote to quote the war or its military operation in rafa as well, then what could happen the well the, this is not a body that has it. so no me but can go and enforce its measures, but it is a cool that is the highest court of the will system. it's a, it's one of the main organs of the united nations. 193 countries of the general assembly are bound by the schools. so i think what is likely there's no will to mastic referral t

but now they've followed south africa's lead, which is, was, was asking for this, south africa, very specific. this time they talked and the focus to the roof or offensive, and the orders are really clear. stop the roof or offensive. now open the roof of border crossing. now, unless any investigative body and you and body into, into gaza through the roof across the very, very clear orders that israel and he said, made a point to the end. the says, binding effect. there was an international legal obligation. this is the top court and the un system. it's elected by the 193 member states of the united nations that joined collection that takes place in the security council and the general assembly . it's israel isn't meant the state of the united nations on the international law . israel must do what it's told. and, but since it's being told the 1st time in january did not come at any acts that could amount to genocide, among other things as well, has killed more than 15000 people in gaza. i know that you're saying searching the very strong orders. but if we look at perhaps the most impo

but in fact, israel's even gone farther than that inside that it believes that south africa is really acting as the the legal wing of ha, sears, have africa is a country which traditionally have is close to the posted even calls. israel will likely go on and it's arguments to say that it's a is responding legitimately it believes to be come off after a terror attacks of october. 7th, june is what we argue that it does have the account to protect civilians that is not targeting civilians. but is in fact targeting her mouse militants, and then it will be up to the court to deliberate. and it will likely take a couple of weeks over whether to respond to that 1st. so that for his request for emergency measures, but the bigger case here, brands over whether there has in fact been a breach and the dentist had conducted the convention will that will take years. and if the court were to say yes to south africa's request for on ordering these emergency measures of stop to what is going on in, gosh, i mean, what would it be enforceable? is there any teeth here to the court itself and you had st

he said south africa argues the court does have the authority. the essential point is that the court has the power to act to ensure that its previous orders and its event, your judgement will not be with us. and the palestinian people will be protected and that he needs to exercise that power. now is where i will have it stored at the court on friday. so far it has called the accusations of genocide baseless. but with egypt now supporting south africa case international pressure on this route in an outside the court is increasing. step 5, some l to sierra the hate are spoke to judy mcintire electra nor at the university of south australia who explained to me how south africa has been pressing the world court for a ceasefire and gaza. this is now the full time that south africa has applied to the quote. and each of those times south africa has asked for some form of face via order. and what we really saw in the hearings today is that they are putting pressure on the chords. they said rather explicitly to the court. this is your last tops to stop w

the south africa as well the case and also the stance in south africa. that's a question we've put to various government officials and members of the public. and every time they respond, referring to south africa's own a par tate history and saying that they are compelled to act with regard to what is happening in gauze of this war and gaza, what they call a genocide because of south africa's history of oppression. subjugation the lack of rights with specific groups of people forced removals. and they say they seen this happen in gaza. we previously when before his presidency, the prisoner, nelson mandela told africans would not be truly free until palestinians are free. we know we had a very good relationship with us. i thought the president of the polo at the time. and so the africans often refer to palestinian standing in solidarity with all the africans and all these saying they are returning that just show that they are compelled to act and stand up for the rights of palestinians. because the lack of rights and what they call a genocide is inexcusab

basically what was south africa's complaint? what did he demand? in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful, at your service and to all the dear viewers, i say hello and good night. i also offer my condolences on the loss of the late president and his wife. well, what happened today is actually the main story it goes back to december of last year when the south african government in a legal initiative against the israeli regime actually filed a complaint in the international court of justice for breach of obligations. arising from the genocide convention at the same time, the south african government, knowing that it is time to deal with this complaint anyway, requested that a temporary order be issued so that the right of the palestinian people to remain immune from genocidal behavior is actually protected in january 2024. the tribunal accordingly issued an interim injunction , although south africa's main claim was in it he did not accept the requirement of the israeli regime to stop operations in gaza, but he required the regime
