Nicaragua seeks to halt German arms exports to Israel at World Court
2024-04-09
[GEO.TV] Nicaragua is set to ask the International Court of Justice on Monday to order Berlin to halt military arms exports to Israel and reverse its decision to stop funding UN Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA.
The two-day hearings on emergency measures are part of a wider case brought by Nicaragua which accuses Germany of violating the Genocide Convention and the laws of war with its support for Israel.
German officials have said the ICJ case is not justified, and Berlin will present its side in court Tuesday.
Germany has been one of Israel's staunchest allies.
