and that is how the peace palace was constructed with his help to establish 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 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 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 hu

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 courthe 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 provisional measure in the bosnia and myanmar cases respectively. 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

the got it and international law. so on paper, when you look at it, these dates are in violation of both of the international court of justice, the decisions and this is not something that the u. k. doesn't know, or the us doesn't know. it is simply a lack of width to adhere to international law and a consistent feeling the day a lie somewhere that says exception outside of the international legal system. are we going to see any accountability? the reality is engaging with you and me, kind of them at the moment is what you call a state of orchestrated mediocre. see you get to responses the law is clear to what these days are doing. and yet, the historical colonial attitude of these institutions is now very clear. the question is whether or not they realize the existence of crisis, the level of violations committed by the states has put the whole international legal system at it is either that this system reaches a point of absurdity ends thrown away along with its main institutions or but it's a response to this crisis that we have. you are looking at the major powers of this world being directed, complicit, and the act of t

a court that has double standards for the allies of the powerful and for those that it thinks of as it's and that means the views it. so that's it to submission to the international court of justice is some sort of anti semitic screed. i'm black libel. this is nonsense that you couldn't make up the nonsense that is being enunciated constantly, not just by the israelis, but that is imperative by the us government, the u. k. government, the german government, the french government, etc. and this is being done to defend the indefensible, to defend the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians to defend the tax on health facilities on residential homes and places of worship on places of what we're seeing a genocide taking place in gaza. well, choose matters to where it is you go after you choose to believe that there's a seat on trimble times it's true. you don't have to be jude v designers. a don't have to be to, to be a scientist, instinct, a nationalist community, and its powerful member states life, particularly to the us. but in general western countries, which is still pilot, indeed savvy, then individual power that some member states can exercise within the when the

international law and the fundamental humanitarian principle of humanity. the bose may also entail the violation of the provisional measures ordered by the international court of justice and those obligations under international law. millions of lives are potentially at stake and these obligations cannot be disregarded any longer. the remains committed to supporting law and its mission while maintaining your tragedy, accountability and oversights and its partnership. while the goals also been discussed at the state department in washington dc joint engine as well. at the state department, there is a deep concern about israel's plan to ban the un relief and works agency from operating in guys speaking to reporters at a briefing shortly before israel took action on that band state department spokesman, matthew miller said that the state department had warned is real not to take this action. he has said, we have made clear to the government of israel that we are deeply concerned by this proposed legislation. he went on to say that secretary of state anthony blinking spoke to run durham or the administer of strategic affairs and defense, secretary, or defense minister, yo

it is a getting to the very strong rolling soft, the international court of justice. and also the pressure brought about by the international criminal court. the debt is essentially telling states, you know, you have to take pro, a proactive action to bring a legal situation to an actual stop the crime still to stop israel from continuing this general side and, and how the atrocities as well as b s bar called dive estimate that essentially has to be onto knobs and bottle was bought in last year and a dirty. busy until until recently, the international court of justice has essentially indicated that that h watch, that is a roof that european countries another uh, the un member state trooper. so uh, in bringing about a change in is israel policies and practices on the grounding, told him to come to the office for start dash, really a significant change and significant pressure coming from all possible and goals on the r p. and politicians want us to get it to be on the right side of history. and i believe that pressure will only increase as to what continuous, uh, and as

the rest of had a more developed approach to neutrality. then all the similar you, n o, n g o entities as well faces charges of genocide or the international court of justice. in the past year, its forces us getting more than 43000 palestinians, the majority women and children. it's blocked, humanitarian aid, leading to starvation and the rapid spread of diseases in casa. and it's also expanded, it's 4 to neighboring countries in the region define international. now the move to band on gra, also against international, is just the latest blow in as well as really leg comfortable against palestinians. because i'm shooting ultra 0 inside story. the, the, we're going to take a look of the political, legal and human impacts of his wild decision with today's gas in london. dining and levy is a president of the us middle east project and a full may is right. a government advisor and also great by this time is the director of development and humanitarian corporation that norwegian people's aid, who has worked in gaza and formerly worked at on or why and, and other people just dental money in a low professor a little after the full jungle was university. i'm an exp

continuation by is a to our initial age, the people who are part of stay they have not reflecting on the fact that the international part of the court of justice is short of pro vision and order with very stipulations about secession. of course, still it is about the escalating and the, the military military activities of knowing who many trivial assistance to be do much to the people of the kind of sky and number of those things that could change in that position. in order to say nothing about that, didn't set that up too, in spite of that provision on the order. and basically some that'd be that that will lead to by the international court of justice. the issue of the 10 of of hostages must give hardly be, be, be, be discussed and known site hostages that have been taken by the id where that's his head, pumpkin patch of pilot stay. it must also be met with the same same pepsi, such as continue a tips on kind of stays dependent student people, as well as now liberal. and the fact that, based on this quote, a team do not take the lead but needs as well as the pulse, the people i usually just to 5 to the if to that the, of take you to school ca

the podium of the united nations. it is really a wonderful place. another part of the united nations is the group called the international court of justice. the international court of justice has now started to prosecute this person, but the power according to their own interpretation, they did not allow this to happen and the inefficiency has now happened. we have a council in the united nations called the economic and social council, more than 10 organizations under the shash branch of the world health organization, under the international nuclear energy agency, under the shazman agriculture. fao the aviation sub-category is a part of these, they are seeing that specially, for example , children in gaza do not have drinking water , they are suffering from constipation, they are suffering from problems, mr. dr. moqtadaei's silence , we are coming to the important point of unesco. that the places registered by unesco are exploding from the world and of course the important part of the message of the leader of the revolution that he points out and addresses muslims and assumes that alongside muslims , the axis of resistance of lebanon's hez

the past year, nobody's going to be able to do anything about what these or any of these are doing on the ground. they've been attempts to use international law, including of the international court of justice, including at the international criminal court, including on the domestic plane. but in the end, it comes down to political will, in this case of the united states. and when it comes to the move, israel's move to bad on her wall, a violation of the un charter and the move rejecting the agencies mandate, which is rooted in resolution 194 which established the right of return for palestinian refugees displaced in 1948 do you think that this move by is realist part of israel's desire to delete palestinian refugees? right to return? that's part of it. certainly certainly there are 2 elements if you like. the 1st is the operational look the, the by stripping the agency of its privileges and immunities. so says law reports to, to, um, making it illegal for any history of the military, civilian or otherwise, from communicating with officials. and knowing that these really military controls the occupied past main territory through any number of check points for instance, or access points at t

the law itself and enforcement of the law. so what we've actually seen is that in the last year now we have a number of provisional measures, borders that were rendered by the international court of justice, ordering israel to take very specific steps. and israel has refused to comply with any of these orders. so to give you just an example, the i, c, j orders ordered. israel just use trying to sidle acts to stop obstructing humanitarian aid, and to halt it's invasion of as well as keeping that off crossing open. and we know very well that israel has not only destroyed that of crossing there by closing it since may. they have carried out a full scale invasion over a 100 encourage all of your viewers to look at the satellite images before and after israel's invasion. and they continue every day of obstructing humanitarian aid. if you look at the latest data from ocean published in september, you will see that this continues to take place with respect to food medicine and women sanitary products. and we also know that genocide will actually continue just a few days ago on israel returned $88.00, posting and bodies to palestinians in gauze and identified with no explanation of how they were

the eating families of these really captives demanding a ceasefire for the sake of their loved ones. not the condemnation of rights and 8 organizations, not the united nations, the international court of justice. all the international criminal court is written has the fact. this was in the flag of self defense, boxed by key western allies and key media outlets. it has successfully dragged the middle east, deeper and deeper into a bloody quote, as well. it has spun out of control of arguments. there's actions are hollow, we're not safeguarding is really lives. we're not exciting terrorism. we're not improving security. we're basically invested in a pile of hot air. now if you're going to try and sell the hot airs, we'll plan or real argument, then you're going to buy this and it shouldn't have to be more and more noisy, more and more definitely more and more in every boost. because there's no substance there. it's all based on your ability to do as low college and as those of noxious as possible. the best analogy i can think of is, think of an ample because somebody constantly turning a football and turning up the volume more and more and more. some find the amplifier is going to be fine. and

international know on the fundamentals, humanitarian principle of humanity. the bills may also entail the violation of the provisional measures ordered by the international court of justice, and israel is obligations on the international millions of lives on potentially of state. can these obligations cannot be disregarded any longer. the remains committed to supporting on this mission while maintaining neutrality, accountability, an oversight, and its partnership for the new. okay. and belgium are expressing similar concerns on israel band, on unrest, russia and china. i've also condemned the decision. gabriel is on the report. some you in headquarters in new york, as the security council was in a meeting discussing israel's attack on the ran over the weekend when news came down, the israel's parliament passed these bills banning unreal. so after the meeting was over, we got some reaction from a few of the council members. we are some of the posts. so this is, and as we, i said the, this is a, an outrage us decision. and though we, we do believe that to our has play the key role in maintaining a lifeline for the public. standing people in gaza to terms the situation in,

against civilians and we've heard that from the very start, that's why the case in the international court of justice uh has uh succeeded at being accepted that the international court of justice the judges unanimously uh came to the conclusion that south africa's case was valid, this is um a possible genocide, that's the way they have accepted this, because it is an all out attack on civilians, and when you do this, instead of the what the israelis believe, that you will somehow kill the spirit of the people, and you will be able to defeat them, all that happens is that the people have their backs against the wall and they simply want to resist more, they have no other option, it's either you're going to wait to die or you're going to try and resist in some way shaped form, and that is what we see from the people, it's no difference in lebanon, it will be no difference uh, there will be no difference if they choose to attack syria and advance into syrian territory, there will be no difference if they start a massive air strike campaign throughout iraq and... of course there has been no difference wi

international obligations. what we do know is that so that the car has indeed fault $750.00 pages of proof that israel is committing genocide and gaza to the international court of justice in the hague. ambassador to the natives delivered the legal documents known as a memorial to the situ headquarters. but under the quotes of rules, the contents of the memorial can not be made public at this particular time. according to a statement from the office of prison that i'm a process, the memorial is a comprehensive presentation of the overwhelming evidence of genocide and guys. as you mentioned, the office also says that the document contains evidence which shows how the government of you as well as violated the genocide convention by promoting the destruction of tennessee is living. does the physically kidding them and who is used to ration as a weapon of fuel and a to fluid that is well as aims to di, populate, guys, that was also very important in this case, is that so that's because funding comes as he's well as ongoing assault and gaza has killed the 423000 people. more than 800000. others have been woodard and $10000.00 have been missing and believe to be dead and buri

that sort of wistful thinking is not the kind of thing one lot of baseball strategy on see what is the state of play as you see it of the international court of justice and the various arrest warrants in his put out for his really leaders and how is we'll, we'll continue to function with an international system of rules and norms. you think that ignore level um as you look at israel's future as well, the international criminal court indictments and the international court of justice rulings, you know, they have no enforcement capacity and they're going to take a long time to play themselves through the system. i think what's happened inside israel is they're simply, you know, have their fingers in their ears, they're not gonna pay any attention. they do not regard these institutions as a, as credible or legitimate, particularly when they're the ones being criticized. so they're going to ignore them. and of course, we unfortunately seem united states for all, let's talk about a rules based order and all of its alleged commitment to international law largely dismiss these activities as well as part of the unconditional support we're providing. but i th

the law itself and enforcement of the law. so what we've actually seen is that in the last year now we have a number of provisional measures, borders that were rendered by the international court of justice, ordering israel to take very specific steps. and israel has refused to comply with any of these orders. so to give you just an example, the i, c, j orders ordered. israel just use trying to sidle acts to stop obstructing humanitarian aid. and to halt is envisioned as well as keep that off crossing open . and we know very well that israel has not only destroyed that of crossing there by closing it since may. they have carried out a full scale invasion over a 100 encourage all of your viewers to look at the satellite images before and after israel's invasion. and they continue every day of obstructing humanitarian aid. if you look at the latest data from ocean published in september, you will see that this continues to take place with respect to food medicine and women sanitary products. and we also know that genocidal acts continue just a few days ago on israel returned 88, posting and bodies to palestinians in gauze and identified with no explanation of how they were killed on what c

the general assembly resolution just a few weeks. so 12626 code define the decision of the international court of justice. that these rules, entire occupation is legal, reparations for refugees must be waived. so this is a much broader attempt to have the mining to natural law and to act as a ro got up. and in this respect, it's not just the damage will that damages mess it to palestinians that's being caused. it is the damage to any ability to have a rules based system of international grid. someone is involved in humanitarian aid. i worked in gaza, formerly worked on the owner. what is owner? what can it be replaced? no, it cannot be replaced. i mean of course it has a very particular mandate and, and so you can't replace it with any other organization. i mean, when y'all was mandated to provide a solution for palestinian refugees on to a solution or some place and you would have to worry now that it's also a part of israel's intent to basically undermine a solution in palestine by the end. right? so of course under as a, as um you and orientation can, you can't replace their mandates and you cannot repl

israel is now considered a parius state by the international community with rulings from the international court of justiceen inconceivable had it not been for the events of october 7th and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe in gaza. الامر لا يتعلق فقط برد فعل وتوقعات انه الاحتلال يكون ذلك كان هذه ضروره للجانب الفلسطيني ان يوجع هذا الاحتلال حتى العالم يشعر بان القضيه الفلسطينيه. هي في ما في مهالك الطرق لدى الصهاينه ويستمرون في تنصلهم من حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني والعدو كان دائما يريد لقطاع غزه ان تكون قضيه انسانيه لا قضيه سياسيه ولذلك ارادت المقاومه ان تجعل من قضيه غزه هي قضيه مكمله للضفه الغربيه بما يجري فيها من انتهاكات لحقوق شعبنا الفلسطيني وتنصل للحلول السياسيه. ان 2023. staggering 2-3irds of the 21 un general assembly resolutions criticizing various countries were aimed squarely at the israeli regime, 14 in total, a clear testament to israel's deteriorating global image. the world watches as the narrative shifts and israel grapples with the consequences of its actions on the international stage. هو عدوان همجي مروع يستهدف كل شيء ويندرج في اطار المخطط الهادف لتصفيه القضيه الفلسطينيه. ولكن المتامرين على ش

وحقوق الاخر وقيمه الاخر. is now considered a parios state by the international community with rulings from the international court of justice, speak up for the people of palestine, of gaza, it is not anti-semitism to speak up, antisemitism. is the state of israel, those in favor of draft resolution in may, 143 of the 193 members of the united nations general assembly voted in favor of palestine's admission to the un, action only sovereign states can take. this significant support would have been inconceivable had it not been for the events of october 7th and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe in gaza. يتعلق فقط برد فعل وتوقعات انه الاحتلال يكون ذلك كان هذه ضروره للجانب الفلسطيني ان يوجع هذا الاحتلال حتى العالم يشعر بان القضيه الفلسطينيه هي فيما في مهالك الطرق لدى الصهاينه ويستمرون في تنصلهم من حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني والعدو كان دائما يريد لقطاع غزه ان تكون قضيه انسانيه لا قضيه سياسيه ولذلك ارادت المقاومه ا ان تجعل من قضيه غزه هي قضيه مكمله للضفه الغربيه بما يجري فيها من انتهاكات لحقوق شعبنا الفلسطيني وتنصل للحلول. in 2023, a staggering two-thirds of the 21 un general assembly resolutions criticizing various countries were

the city of a city and the claim. this is what the international court of justice of what kinds has actually realized and then the admin and the best want. and that's in yeah. who could be published in a minute. and another way i had a couple of days ago and now stuff it so they need to actually address nothing. you know, if he visits no way if animate on them, if and the best warranties issued by this court. so the axis of evil isn't tel aviv, the people and the country and the, the gym that has been committing the country in practice because we do not recognize as the, as a country. um, anyway, uh the only uh, entity that's being targeting, occupying the invading the bombing, the other countries is, is, are the access of, of ego is actually the united states. is, are you a, is that all items are, these are look who's a 2nd? i mean, they have to be in that that can get syria, it on human love in palestine. this is the axis of evil. and lets me just to just quickly point out to something that took place, which is of particular interest to our restaurant of friends. and the aspect on may mean a couple of nights ago i be

the unbelieving genocide is now escalating. and ramping up is, is of course, in stark contrast and in direct violation. the international court of justice is really of us is responsible for the escalation between is well on the wrong. that's the accusation from russia's un um, bass of the speaking of the latest security council session on them, at least in crisis. several diplomats clashed over the conflicts during the macy almost goes on board. the washington is only feeling the 5 the season. right. it was really easy to use. these really authorities and recent weeks have not hidden the fact that they are preparing to strike at the facilities of the islamic republic. at the same time, the united states and its allies. not only did not try to dissuade west jerusalem from this extremely dangerous undertaking. but also directly or indirectly pointed out that is real allegedly has the right to such a response. thus, they acted extremely irresponsibly, as they deliberately provoked a new round of escalation in the middle east. as far as we can tell, washington also supplied west jerusalem with necessary intelligence information for the stri

the middle east of. so the tennessee case against israel at the international court of justice bice, of africa, will continue and we'll africa will find a memorial this months. we've also heard from south africa during that time, that was the case is appropriate. so last week a will continue to hope that is well will abide by the courts board is because you would remember how to support as the months left in january. it said is for must take immediate steps to prevent genocidal actions and guides that it must prevented . punish incitement to suicide. must also allow access to so many children a and that was of course in january of this yes. but to this stage, there's a little to no evidence is, well, has changed costs. despite these clear demands of orders from the court. in fact, the ports and images from gaza seduce escalated violence and increased the civilian casualties. and each day i received several countries such as took yeah, spain, libya, mexico, when you come up, why and even columbia full joining you. so that's the case. the case is well to show that the case really represents a growing global if

the streets and stand by hezbollah and the people of lebanon. the complicity of the united nations in the assassination of seyed hassan nasrallah is obvious. netanyahu , the international court of justice is reviewing his arrest warrant, which of course has not yielded results yet it received the necessary authorization to justify the killing of civilians and the theft and destruction of houses to world leaders at the un general assembly. the us still insists that the occupation regime did not inform them about the attacks last week. but the day after the massacres, he praised these actions . we strongly condemned israel's terrorist attack on the lebanese government and the assassination of our beloved hassan nasrallah. we gathered here with our family and friends . in the name of allah, the merciful. look at the smiling sun, say hello to tomorrow, say hello to the future, look at the sun on the day of pilgrimage of agha imam reza, peace be upon him, the final journeys.

of the people that might have played a part in october 7th, we simply don't know. to what extent could this is where the bottom violate the ruling from the international court of justice, the old it as well to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aids to garza, to in my, in my humble estimation as a, as a student a lot. i believe that this does violate that under of is a you, an agency test with humanitarian relief in the near east in palestine is 1949 and that was because of the refugee crisis created by the neck of the end. the war that's uh that was that happening in 1948. so monroe has done this for almost a century really. and so to see this now happening at a time in the humanitarian catastrophe on the ground when the unbelieving genocide is now escalating and ramping up is, is of course, in stark contrast and in direct violation, the international court of justice is really. so i see this as, as something that certainly violates that you know, that jerry and provision the question ultimately is who's going to hold the is really government accountable for the ends of the ruling and for the continual curtailment of much needed aid. be that food, water, and oth

so the genocide case, a case you saw at the international court of justice by south africa will continue and will africa, will find a memorials this months that we've also heard from south africa during that time. that while the case is improved for me. so last week, a will continue to hope that is well will abide by the court orders because you want to remember how to support them as to months left in january. if it is from must take immediate steps to prevent genocide will actions and guides that it must prevent and punish incitement to suicide. must also allow access to communicate with a debt. and that was, of course, in january this yes, but just this gauge, there's a lot to to know if this is well has changed course. despite these, it's clear the moans or just from the courts. in fact, the ports and images from gaza seduce escalated vines and increase to civilian casualties each day i received several countries such as took yeah, spain, libby, mexico, new cadillac, wife and even columbia full joining. the saw african case, the case. these are all to show that the case really repres

the service of some of these historical buildings goes back to 4 thousand years ago. south africa submitted a document against the zionist regime to the international court of justice and it of genocide. the basis of this complaint is the geneva convention and the hague convention. international agreements that are regulated under the supervision of unesco and on the protection of heritage. humanity is emphasized during armed measures. israel has devastated gaza, with almost all of its civilized infrastructure and agricultural land either completely destroyed or severely damaged. many from houses, medical centers, communication infrastructures, all universities and most educational centers, municipal services, mosques and churches, and even cultural and historical centers that serve them. too many were lost. these centers have been the place of gathering and birth of the palestinian community. the rafah and al-qarar museums in southern gaza were completely destroyed in airstrikes and suffered irreparable damage. more than 3,000 ancient poems were stored in the khatib museum, which belonged to the period after the bronze age . in these attacks, the human heritage regist

hard lesson that the united nations is weak, incredibly weak, not a total waste of... time because at least the the legal side of the united nations, the international court of justice, the international criminal court have taken meaningful action against netanyahu and the israelis, but the the security council, the general assembly are paper tigers, the when the the the reigning superpower, the united states clearly has no risk. for international law, then we are, we're seeing the law of the jungle, the law of the most powerful, that is the reality, and we're in a world now in the in the middle where only force counts and there is no point in relying on the united nations or any any other international institution, at the end of the day, however, "i mean, possibly as soon as next week, i do expect that suddenly, un security council resolution 1701, dating back to 2006, and the last conflict over southern lebanon, suddenly that resolution will become relevant, and the israelis and their allies will want to return to that resolution."
