ICJ Delivers Order On Nicaragua V Germany Case
Tulips are blooming around the exterior of the Peace Palace, home of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in The Hague, Netherlands, on April 30, 2024. The ICJ has recently rejected Nicaragua's request to prevent Germany from selling weapons to Israel. With a vote of 15 to 1, the judges denied the emergency order that would have directed Germany to stop arms sales amidst the conflict with Palestinians in Gaza. ICJ President Nawaf Salam stated in the ruling that the current circumstances do not warrant the court's intervention with provisional measures. Meanwhile, a protest in support of Palestine and Nicaragua is taking place outside The Peace Palace. (Photo by ___)
