Nicaragua v. Germany (facilitation of genocide)

[edit]

On April 8 2024, Carlos José Argüello Gómez was opening the case on behalf of Nicaragua at the International Court of Justice, accusing Germany of complicity to the genocidal acts by Israel against the Palestinian population in Gaza. He argued that Germany has continued and increased their military exports to Israel despite the documented crimes against humanity by Israel. He also mentioned Germany's objection to the Genocide Convention against Israel filed by South Africa in December 2023.[3]
