Abstract
South Africa has brought a case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the situation in Gaza. South Africa focused on claims under the Genocide Convention, as this is the only legal claim over which the ICJ has jurisdiction. South Africa requested provisional measures to protect the rights of Palestinians in Gaza, including the suspension of military operations and the provision of humanitarian assistance. The ICJ granted most of South Africa's requests, although there were dissenting opinions among the judges. The case highlights the potential for enforcing human rights through international courts.
