Nicaragua lawsuit: ICJ will not order to halt German arms to Israel
[IsraelNationalNews] The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday rejected a request by Nicaragua to issue Germany emergency orders to desist selling arms to Israel, by 15 votes to one, The Guardian reported.The decision, according to the judgment read in court in The Hague, is largely based on a significant decrease in recent German arms sales to Israel, the largely defensive nature of arms recently sold, and the extensive internal German government processes to consider if arms would be used to prosecute war crimes or genocide. Nicaragua last month filed a case at the ICJ that seeks an end to German military and other aid to Israel, based on claims that Berlin is "facilitating" acts of genocide.
