Germany asks top UN court to throw out Gaza genocide case brought by Nicaragua

GERMANY tried today to get the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to throw out a genocide case brought by Nicaragua over Berlin’s arms sales to Israel.

Nicaragua accuses Germany of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law by “facilitating” acts of genocide in Gaza through its arms sales and other military support for Israel.

Julia Monar, Germany’s top lawyer, said the case had been improperly filed.
