EU should not rely on International Court of Justice to hold Israel to account, says academic

EU should not rely on International Court of Justice to hold Israel to account, says academic‘They are heroes to us’: The seven aid workers killed in Monday’s Israeli air strike

The court had set an “impossibly high bar” by stating genocide must be the only intent of the actions under scrutiny, she said. A finding that genocide took place would be “very hard to establish”, particularly when it was alleged to have been carried out by a state, the academic said. Giulia Pinzauti, a former ICJ legal associate officer, said trying to address the persecution of Palestinians in the genocide case would be like fitting a large foot into “Cinderella’s glass slipper”. There were separate but related issues such as the previous lengthy occupation of the Gaza Strip and settler violence in the West Bank, she said.
