Interweaving with Somdeep Sen: The ICJ’s Investigation of Israel and the Possibilities and Limitations of International Law (with John Collins)

Beskrivelse

On December 29, 2023, South Africa brought a case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, arguing that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza. On January 11-12, 2024, the ICJ held public hearings on South Africa’s request for provisional measures of protection for the people of Gaza and eventually ruled that Israel was responsible for taking all necessary measures to prevent “acts of genocide” in Gaza. The ongoing ICJ case has been the subject of significant debate. To explore the issue further, I reached out to Dr. Somdeep Sen (left), a frequent Weave News contributor and a professor at Roskilde University.
