Top UN court rejects South African request for urgent measures to safeguard Rafah

The top UN court on Friday rejected a South African request to impose urgent measures to safeguard Rafah in the Gaza Strip, but also stressed that Israel must respect earlier measures imposed late last month at a preliminary stage in a landmark genocide case.

Interesting considering the number of people who took the last ruling as proof of a genocide. I’d have expected the Court to intervene if they felt that way.

    i think it’s still fair to say the last ruling is significant.

      I’d agree, I’m just interested in how those claiming that the last ruling was a clear indictment are reconciling this latest ruling. I fully expected the Court to tell Israel to gtfo of Rafah but it seems like they’re looking at this like it’s a conventional Urban war based on this ruling.

        given the amount of influence Israel has though I’m not sure how strong they’d make their statements, the US still supports them

          I mean… we’ve seen the bias show thru at the UN without US interference before. Israel has more human rights censures than any other middle east country for example LoL. The panel is CLEARLY able to pass judgement, the US steps in before the resolutions are passed though at the lower levels.
