Tok Mat to participate in ICJ advisory opinion procedure on Palestine issue

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia 's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan is in the Hague, Netherlands, to participate in the public hearings on the request for the International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion on the issue of Palestine.

"Malaysia is participating in this Advisory Opinion procedure with the aim of assisting the ICJ in the examination of the legal questions put to it by the General Assembly," he said. He pointed out that while the South African application was filed over alleged violations by Israel of its obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, particularly since Oct 7, 2023, the Advisory Opinion derives from the request by the UNGA.

This is the second time that Malaysia has been involved in the ICJ Advisory Opinion procedure in support of Palestine. Before the upcoming public hearings, Mohamad said Malaysia participated in the written proceedings by submitting a written statement, which was deposited with the ICJ on July 25, 2023.

He said Anwar has constantly asserted the moral responsibility of the international community to address the atrocities committed by Israel against innocent Palestinians, especially women and children.
