En belangrijk Nederland is consistent in de interpretatie van het Genocideverdrag in deze verklaring in #SouthAfrica v #Israel. Veel heeft het ook al in een vergelijkbare verklaring gesteld in de zaak aangebracht door Gambia tegen Myanmar inzake schendingen van het Genocideverdrag tegen de Rohingya

Nederland steunt genocidezaak die Zuid-Afrika tegen Israël aanspant bij VN-hof
Nederland steunt de genocidezaak die Zuid-Afrika tegen Israël startte in 2023. Volgens het Genocideverdrag kunnen gedwongen ontheemding en uithongering daden van genocide zijn, stelt Nederland.

Les quatre jours d’audiences ont démarré lundi. Une fois celles-ci terminées, la Cour aura soixante jours pour communiquer sa décision.

I do wonder why - given the overlapping nature of many of these arguments - we don't have any joint submissions like we have seen in some interventions recently. Possibly it was just because of the very short timeframe, States didn't have time to negotiate.

Serbia seeks to intervene in Sudan v. UAE to argue that reservations to art. 9 of the Genocide Convention are legally valid. (Not sure that's a "construction" of art. 9 per se. More likely a "construction" of the treaty as a whole to identify its object and purpose)

The ICJ has resolved the uncertainty surrounding Judge Salam's resignation by electing Judge Iwasawa to serve as its President for the remainder of the current term (through 5 February 2027). This appears to mean that Julia Sebutinde will continue as Vice-President (and not Acting President).

Judge #Sebutinde became acting-president after Salam's resignation, but it was not a given she'd automatically become President. Plus then some things happened (listen to the #CalledToTheBar podcast for more on that) and now we have our answer.

Big news from the #ICJ: Judge #Iwasawa has been elected President of the Court to complete Judge #Salam's original term until Feb 2027. After Judge Salam's resignation in January to become PM of #Lebanon, many of us were wondering who'd become President of the Court and if there'd be an election.
