bohdan, the un international court is also considering a case involving accusations by... countries against russia under the genocide convention. how are these cases different, or perhaps they have something in common? well, first of all, the un international court of justice currently has two lawsuits from ukraine against russia, related to the russian war. the first case is related to the lawsuit of 2017, and there it is about russia's actions in the captured crimea, and also about the support, as ukraine says, of terrorism in the donetsk and luhansk regions, starting in 2014, and this case is pending, yes would to speak at work. the second case is related to the genocide convention, as well as the case against israel, which was filed by representatives of the south african republic, but by ukrainians. a lawsuit against russia citing the convention on terrorism is a little different. it says that ukraine accuses russia of illegally using the pretext of accusing ukraine of genocide in order to carry out an illegal invasion of ukraine in february 2022. literally the next day, ukraine. prepa

palestinians hailed the preliminary ruling by the top un courts saying it will could contribute to isolating the zinanis regime. and the israeli regime continues its relentless attacks on gaza where the death toll has topped 26,00, mostly women and children. hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in tehron. thank you for joining us. now the international court of justice has ordered israel to try and prevent genocidal acts being committed inside. was stop short of ordering sease fire. in a move that as frustrated pro-palestinian activists, only six of the special measures requested by south africa were granted by the icj, including increased humanitarian aid to be allowed into the devastated palestinian territory, where over 26,00 have already been killed in the us- israely genocide. it was a ruling weeks in the making, lawyers acting... for south africa had requested the international court of justice implement special measures that would prevent more deaths and a further humanitarian catastrophe in gaza, this whilst the main case of genocide is considered against te

today's top story, the un's top court has ordered israel to take measures to prevent acts of genocide against palestinians in the gaza strip. the state of israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide. in relation to members of the palestinian group in the gaza strip. that was part of a preliminary ruling a genocide case against the regime brought by south africa. the international court of justice also said it has jurisdiction to rule in the case. it added that israel must improve the humanitarian situation in the besieg territory and allow in aid. the icj however fell short of ordering the regime to end this onslaught on the strip.

compliance, uh, palestinian assistant, foreign minister, has called on all states to ensure that the top un courts orders are completely enforced, so what happens if and when the israelis refuse to abide by the world court's ruling? in the words of the south african foreign minister, if israel doesn't comply, then we're opening up room for more abuses taking place in future conflicts and very dangerous precedent will be set. unpack that for us please. well, the first thing is um, technically what usually... happens when there's non-compliance is that this can be brought forth by the un security council for non compliance, but we all know the five parties that have the unilateral veto power in any un security council resolution, so we know that the us will probably veto any kind of further sanctions or orders in order to bring israel to come to compliance um and thus it will call to question, the rules-based international order that the us always likes to out, and it will show that the us is willing to destroy this alleged rules-based international order when it doesn't suit them, that's the first

it comes from a un court, not the international criminal court. it's like. it it gives tremendous power, it was born out of the second world war when the soviet union beat germany and created the united nations, and the rejection of genocide, which we all know happened to the jews in eastern europe and in europe in general, so it's um, it's not like the icc where i have worked, but subject to prosecutorial discretion, um, so... "it came from africa, and we all know that in history, africa has been the worst, probably the worst discriminated against uh continent in in the world, probably, and we came from south africa, which fought so hard and got rid of apartite, and then um, the quality of the legal writings written and submitted to the..." international court of justice is astounding, it's like an encyclopedia of information, you can all see it, you can look it up, and and so i'm very impressed by it, and as a person who doesn't like the ad hawk courts, this one is is very exciting, um, it's also a bricks country, which is outside the western se

yes, that too the international court of the un, and also the lawsuit of ukraine against russia, but rding the convention on genocide, so to speak, it’s all twisted, but it’s actually just a technical decision, which consists in whether the court will agree to russia’s objection, russia demands that the court in general threw this case out, because they say that he does not have jurisdiction, in this matter and in this case, but the situation here is completely different, and in particular, 32 states took the side of ukraine in this case, i think that we will see what the decision will be in prison, but to simply reject it all will probably be up to the judge hard. thank you, bohdan, for your analysis, bohdan tsyupin was in direct contact with us from london. ukraine conducted one of the largest exchanges of prisoners of war, 207 people returned home. the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war reported that 95 soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine were released from captivity. 56 national guardsmen, 26 border guards, 29 territorial defense soldiers and one r

kirby can announce, we take the same position as the un court, in many ways we insist on humanitarianweapons from them and has been the largest recipient of their aid. there was money left. mostly in america, because weapons were bought from them, so the security of israel and its endless conflict with the arabs is still considered by american gunsmiths to be a bonanza. we call on countries still exporting arms and ammunition to israel to immediately stop these shipments to avoid becoming complicit in genocide. yes, palestinian representative trying to reach out to the league of arab states, i understand perfectly well that so far the statements about the protection of the world of a single arab nation and a state for the palestinians remain only statements. arab neighbors understand the palestinians. egypt and jordan. and now the next question is: is the league of arab states ready to remember, and if it is ready, then so quickly, its khartoum declaration is three no, no recognition of israel, no truce with israel, no relations with israel, because too many of those who are in she en

that is, roughly speaking, it does not take anyone to prison. does not confiscate property and the un court considers interstate disputes and issues conclusions that are considered legally binding, and then certain sanctions can be imposed by the un security council, but at the same time russia... has already demonstrated that it can ignore the decision of such a court and, for example, in the first days of the full-scale invasion, ukraine filed another claim with the hague, which then accused russia of abusing the convention on the prevention of genocide, and the court then urgently ruled that in march 22nd, the preventive measure told russia to immediately suspend all its military operations until the case was considered on its merits, but russia then said that it was impossible, and actually, but today, why am i here, because the court... the un should also impose a preventive measure in another case that concerns israel, and the results of which may have an echo for ukraine as well, and the fact is that the republic of south africa filed a lawsuit in this court here to the hague, accusi

yes, the un international court of justice has already made up its mind and only partially recognizedia as guilty of financing of terrorism. on january 31 , the un international court of justice issued a decision in the case of ukraine. against russia on charges of financing terrorism, the ukrainian side filed a lawsuit alleging russia's violation of two international conventions on the fight against the financing of terrorism and on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination. related to the episodes of 2015-2017, in accordance with the decision of the court that russia is guilty of violating the convention on the financing of terrorism under article number nine, the un international court of justice believes that the aggressor country did not fulfill its obligations with investigation of terrorist financing cases, which ukraine has repeatedly drawn attention to. the court found most of the accusations unfounded. it is noted that the main problem in this case was the conservative approach of the un international court of justice to the interpretation of the convention on co

israel has been asked to report back within a month on how it's upholding the orders from the top un court. although the court does not have the power to enforce the ruling. right, we can now get more or less from d w special corresponding to abraham, who joins us from jerusalem. how is people where you are reacted to the i. c j's order? i think in israel there is definitely a sense of relief that a ceasefire has not been ordered by this court. you have to understand that here in israel there's still even more than 3 months into the war. and with the, you know, the, the, the civilian, adaptable in gaza, there's still a strong belief that this is a war of self defense. there are still over a 100 hostages that are believe, to be held at in gaza. so every day in this sense is one from one woman told me, i remember that every day is october 7th for people in israel. the collective trauma is very real. and so there was a, there was a lot of just confusion when this case started about why is it that people that are defending themselves are being sued for that self defense? that's the perspective
