The Hague-based court has ordered Israel to take all measures capable to prevent acts of Genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but it stopped short of ordering a ceasefire. The interim ruling will of course remain merely symbolic as the World Court has no power or mechanism whereby it can enforce the verdict. It asserts that South Africa’s case has legal merit and can proceed.

Current president of the ICJ Judge Joan Donahue said however that the “catastrophic situation” in Gaza could get much worse by the time the final verdict in the case gets delivered while explaining why the provisional directive is necessary.
