The Hague (dpa) – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday rejected Nicaragua’s demands that Berlin stop arms exports to Israel in the ongoing Gaza genocide proceedings at the UN’s highest court.
Nicaragua accused Germany before the ICJ of aiding and abetting genocide in the Gaza Strip by supplying weapons to Israel.
In its application to the ICJ on March 1, Nicaragua argued that by providing political, financial and military support to Israel and by defunding the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), “Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide and, in any case has failed in its obligation to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide.”
Germany rejected the complaint as unfounded.
“These allegations are completely without legal or factual foundation,” Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, head of the German delegation to the ICJ said in The Hague earlier this month.
At the start of the month, Nicaragua closed its embassy in Berlin due to the lawsuit.
