Nicaragua asked the International Court of Justice today to order Berlin to halt military arms exports to Israel . — Reuters picTHE HAGUE, April 8 — Nicaragua hit out at Germany at the UN’s top court today over its support to Israel , saying it was “pathetic” to give weapons to the Israel i government while simultaneously providing aid in Gaza .
In a 43-page submission to the court, Nicaragua argued that Germany is in breach of the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention, set up in the wake of the Holocaust.“By sending military equipment and now defunding UNRWA ... Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide,” the submission says. Nicaragua has also asked the ICJ to decide “provisional measures” — emergency orders imposed while the court considers the broader case.
In that case, the court ordered Israel to do everything in its power to prevent genocidal acts and recently toughened its stance, ordering additional measures obliging Israel to step up access to humanitarian aid. It also calls on the court to order Germany to “reverse its decision to suspend the funding of UNRWA”.
Nicaragua said in its submission that “it could be comprehensible” that Germany would support an “appropriate reaction” by ally Israel to the October Hamas attacks.On Friday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Israel had “no more excuse” to delay aid getting into Gaza.
