The South Africa vs Israel Genocide Convention case was filed on 12/29/23. Hearings have been held on 1/11/24, 1/12/24, and 1/29/24 at the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands. Our previous posts from 1/15/24 and 1/29/24 can be found at the end of this article for those playing catch up to this story.
Our team is absolutely mesmerized by the lack of US MSM media coverage involved with this story. It is really quite stunning. The silence is way beyond deafening!
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It was established by the United Nations Charter in June 1945 and began its activities in April 1946. The Court is composed of 15 judges elected for a nine-year term by the General Assembly and the Security Council of the United Nations. The seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). The Court has a twofold role: first, to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States; and, second, to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized United Nations organs and agencies of the system.
When we set out to provide this update on the South Africa vs Israel Genocide Convention case, we discovered that Nicaragua asked for “permission to intervene as a party” in this case on 2/8/24 so we are waiting to see what transpires next with this request.
Nicaragua states that it has interests of a legal nature that stem from the rights and obligations imposed by the Genocide Convention and all State Parties and flow from the universal character both of the condemnation of genocide and of the cooperation required in order to LIBERATE MANKIND FROM SUCH AN ODIOUS SCOURGE.
Nations are stepping up to “liberate mankind from an odious scourge.”
What does this tell you? The claims of genocide must be 100% REAL. Odious means repugnant or something that literally demands a person’s anger because it is so evil.
In addition to Nicaragua asking for permission to intervene, the ICJ did issue this decision on 2/16/24, responding to a South Africa letter dated 2/12/24 and Israel’s observation letter dated 2/15/24. These two letters and the ICJ decision are all worth the read, if you have time. One can clearly see the stances that the two countries are now taking after the court sided with South Africa in late January.
The Court notes that the most recent developments in the Gaza Strip, and in Rafah in particular, ‘would EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE what is already a HUMANITARIAN NIGHTMARE with untold regional consequences’,
This PERILOUS SITUATION demands immediate and effective implementation of the provisional measures indicated by the Court in its Order of 26 January 2024…
We are not legal experts, but it certainly sounds like the ICJ is gently informing Israel to watch their step closely. These two letters and the ICJ decision dated 2/16/24 are the major updates in the South Africa vs. Israel case.
However, keep in mind that it was reported earlier that South Africa is planning to bring a similar Genocide Convention case against the US and UK. Are we talking about the same odious scourge? Or something even worse?
In addition, most people are completely unaware of the fact that a Genocide Convention case was filed by Ukraine against the Russian Federation on 2/26/22, nearly two years ago.
Russia sought to justify in part by claims that Ukraine was engaged in acts of genocide within the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts. Ukraine said that these claims gave rise to a dispute under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and based its application on the ICJ's jurisdiction to resolve disputes involving the convention. On 16 March 2022, the court ruled that Russia must "immediately suspend the military operations" in Ukraine, while waiting for the final decision on the case. (Ukraine v. Russian Federation: 32 States intervening)
As has been reported by many other sources, Russia’s “special military operation” remains active in Ukraine as of today.
Just about two years after this Ukraine v. Russian Federation case was filed, a judgement was quietly read out on 2/2/24.
You can download the 62-page transcript of this ruling here. The 19-page summary of the judgement handed down from the ICJ on 2/2/24 can be accessed here.
While most Americans believe that the “war” in Ukraine started in 2022, it was reported by the International Court of Justice that armed conflict had begun in the Donbass region in 2014 and this continued until 2022. In other words, Russia was responding to a situation that resembled civil war in Ukraine in 2022 that had been unfolding for 8 or 9 years prior.
The Court recalls that, in the spring of 2014, an armed conflict erupted in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, between Ukrainian armed forces and forces linked to two entities that refer to themselves as the “Donetsk People’s Republic” (DPR) and the “Luhansk People’s Republic” (LPR). Despite attempts to achieve a peaceful resolution, the armed conflict continued between 2014 and 2022.
It was also confirmed that Russia recognized both DPR and LPR as states. In essence, each “so-called” entity or group was considered a sovereign nation in and of itself.
On 21 February 2022, the Russian Federation formally recognized the DPR and LPR as independent States.
It was also confirmed that Russia formed “treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance” with both DPR and LPR on 2/22/22 after which the Russia Federation was asked to provide military assistance to DPR and LPR. A special military operation, per the treaties established, was then launched.
On 22 February 2022, the Russian Federation concluded what it refers to as two “Treaties on Friendship, Cooperation and - 2 - Mutual Assistance”, one with the DPR and the other with the LPR. On the same date, the DPR and LPR requested military assistance from the Russian Federation pursuant to these “treaties”. At 6 a.m. (Moscow time) on 24 February 2022, the President of the Russian Federation declared that he had decided to conduct a “special military operation” in Ukraine, stating in particular that “[i]ts purpose [wa]s to protect people who ha[d] been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years”. The “special military operation” was launched early in the morning on the same day.
So what is the purpose of The Fruited Plain sharing all of this detailed minutiae with you, our loyal subscriber? We simply want to raise awareness of the censorship we are all living under.
Is this “version” of the war in Ukraine being reported by anyone in the United States? We now have the International Court of Justice, the United Nations “Peace Palace,” if you will, detailing these events in court documents. Meanwhile, these facts are deemed hate speech or conspiracy theory in the US and Putin is maligned as nothing but pure evil.
The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, has genocide cases swirling all around them now. The genocide cases involving Ukraine and Israel are out in the open for all to see, but what about Taiwan? Why are foreign aid packages being approved by the US Senate that include billions of dollars for Taiwan?
Senate passes $95 billion foreign aid bill. But the funding faces long odds in House. (2/13/24)
The package would appropriate $60 billion to support Ukraine, which has been battling Russia since February of 2022. It would also send $14 billion in military assistance to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian assistance to Gaza and elsewhere, and nearly $5 billion to defend Taiwan.
We are not sure we have ever seen the US “pre-fund” a “potential war.” What exactly is going on in Taiwan that requires $5 billion? And why the need to allocate funding for BOTH Israel ($14 billion) and Gaza ($9 billion)? Who exactly will be receiving shipment of the humanitarian aid in Gaza? Palestinians?
American citizens reap the many rewards of funding all of these so-called “wars.” Per BioClandestine, we get to enjoy things like poverty, propaganda, illness, and death.
Please know that our team is tracking any and all cases involving genocide or Genocide Convention. We have three (or four) countries now coming into the spotlight - Ukraine, Israel, (Palestine), and Taiwan. We will do our very best to keep you informed as these international stories continue to unfold.
In the meantime, pray that the nations will be able to cooperate fully to liberate mankind from the “odious scourge” referenced by Nicaragua in its legal filing from 2/8/24.
Genocide is repulsive. Genocide is repugnant. Genocide is extremely unpleasant. Genocide deserves the wrath and anger of all living people.
Let’s stay frosty out there friends. We are all wise to pay very close attention to all that is going on in the world. We are watching history unfold in front of our very eyes.
Thank you, but difficult to digest on first reading - as to how you stand, WE? stand on Israel, Ukraine! Of course we have no way of knowing who is or isn't truthful (anymore). We can only go by the spirit and words of OUR Lord and God - Jesus Christ. And we are charged with recognizing, identifying, calling out, standing up, speaking out and condemning EVIL!
The UN, New world Order, Islam, ..... , are all modern versions of EVIL that wants control of this world - and OUR "... Unique, Compound, Constitutional Republic..." has been lost to democracy, totalitarianism, Cultural Marxism, ...., EVIL!
I'm not clear on how you stand , with Israel, with Ukraine! To my understanding - they are not the evil ones here - and I have to speak on their behalf. Hurry Jesus - Sound the Trumpet!
