The ICJ Genocide Case Is No-Win For The Rules Based Order

Has been brilliantly presented by the South African lawyers, with some assists.

I don’t want to waste your time, though. Israel is committing genocide. Everyone knows it and yes, it meets the legal definition.

But the case is a thing of beauty, because whatever the ICJ decides way the outcome is almost the same:

If the ICJ orders an end to the genocide America, Israel and most of Europe will ignore the order. This will discredit the post-war “rules based international order”. It will be seen as a joke.

If the ICJ doesn’t find that genocide is being committed and order an end to it when everyone can see, in real time, the genocide happening, the post-war rules based international order will be discredited.

The only difference is is that if the ICJ does its job and finds that genocide is occurring and orders an end, some parts of the current order may survive into the new order.

It’s interesting to me that the current order is in this “no win” situation. They feel they must support Israel, but doing so is losing them massive legitimacy. They have no way out.
