MANAGUA — Nicaragua has filed an application at
the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Germany, accusing it of
facilitating ‘genocide’ in the Gaza Strip by providing Israel with financial
and military support, as well as suspending funding for
UNRWA, Al-Mamlaka TV
reported.

In the memorandum published by the court,
Nicaragua stated that through these actions, "Germany is facilitating the commission
of genocide and, in any case, has failed in its obligation to do everything
possible to prevent the commission of genocide.”
The German Foreign Ministry did not respond
immediately to a request for comment. Typically, the court schedules a hearing
date for any requested emergency measures within weeks of a case being filed.
In December 2023,
South Africa filed a case
against Israel, accusing it of violating the Genocide Convention in relation to
Palestinians in Gaza. In January, the ICJ issued a ruling and ordered emergency
measures, including a call for Israel to cease any potential acts of genocide
in Gaza.
