The World Court Declares Israel an Apartheid State
Sep 6, 2024
Thank you Jonathan Cook for this very helpful article.
So in 2022, the United Nations asked the International Court of Justice, (which Jonathan is calling the World Court), to advise on the legality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
In late July 2024, the ICJ made their conclusions about the occupation itself (nothing about the current violence). They concluded that:
Israel is an apartheid state
Apartheid is a crime against humanity
Israeli officials should be tried for war crimes (for the occupation)
Israeli allies are complicit in war crimes.
“Apartheid states must be reconstituted from scratch.” — Jonathan Cook
