Nicaragua has asked the International Court of Justice to order Germany to halt military arms exports to Israel and to resume its funding of UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, saying there is a serious risk of genocide in Gaza, Reuters reports.
Nicaragua’s agent ambassador Carlos Jose Arguello Gomez has told the court Berlin is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention by continuing to supply Israel with arms after ICJ judges ruled it was plausible that Israel violated some rights guaranteed under the genocide convention during its assault on Gaza.
“There can be no question that Germany … was well aware, and is well aware, of at least the serious risk of genocide being committed,” in the Gaza strip, Gomez said. He told the judges that Berlin was ignoring its obligations under international law by continuing to provide military assistance to Israel.
“This has got to stop,” Gomez said.
Berlin will present its case in more detail in court on Tuesday.
