Friday, the 26-th of January, the International Court of Justice under the UN authority has pronounced a 15:2 verdict to accept the case of genocide introduced by South Africa against the state of Israel related to its actions in Gaza after the 7 October attack on Israel internationally recognised territory. The perspective of such a trial reopened debates about the right of self defense versus genocide, the proportionality in war, the just war theory, the thin line between combat and non-combat civilians in war time, intangibility and immunity of civilians in war zones as well as uses and abuses in war times, transforming lawfare tactics in combat strategies, the case of terrorist organisations in civilian crowded spaces, human shields and tactics of abduction, fighting an enemy with complete disrespect of war norms or conventional rules of engagement. Our case is the current Gaza war and the responsibility for choosing adequate legal, moral and legitimate objectives in war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
