Nicaragua drags Germany to ICJ for ‘facilitating Israel’s genocide’ in Gaza
Let's fucking GOOOOO! Unlimited findings of Genocide against WeSSt Germany.
The global south has listened and doubted for decades to the West claiming that international institutions served all equally. Now even they are forcing these institutions to back their empty words with action or be revealed as hypocrites.
It's never going to stick but I unconditionally salute this action because:
Mao was right about where political power comes from. We will not see justice from the ICJ today but we might just see the delegitimisation of these political institutions that are captive to the west, and maybe that's the most realistic thing that we can hope for.
I didn't think the South Africa - Israel case would have succeeded either but it did so I'm very cautiously optimistic something will stick.
So much of Germany's post war image is built on being rependtent for genocide that even a small victory for Nicaragua would absolutely fuck up Germany's image.
South Africa's case hasn't succeeded yet, they got a preliminary finding that Israel is plausibly committing genocide. It'll probably be a year before a final verdict is reached, by which time the evidence against Israel will only be stronger. I'm optimistic, but it's not certain.
