the majority of this lent and ramadan will overlap and i already know i will spend every single second of every single day thinking about those who will have to fast on empty stomachs. those who have been fasting since october. those who won’t be able to pray without constant bombardment. those who have lost too much to even be able to enjoy breaking their fast with loved ones ): … no prayer no food no water no loved ones . all our joys are being destroyed in the name of evil.

Afternoon hearing is starting now

UK is first, given their recent drama who knows how this will go

Calling for a two state solution in the opening statement

Talking about October 7th and the following humanitarian crisis. Also stating the need for a ceasefire

Disputing what others have said about Israel and the UK, and saying that comparisons to previous rulings should not be drawn

Second speaker is arguing that the court should not give an opinion

They're insisting this is a bilateral dispute and therefore the court can't rule on it

Arguing that the conflict needs a negotiated end and that constant delays don't matter in the existing Security Council framework

Surely there has to be a ruling stating that if one party refuses to negotiate then negotiation is not the required method and that a court ruling would suffice

Stating that if the court will give a ruling, the questions they're addressing should be reevaluated, and instead the court should endorse the current Security Council framework

Slovenia is presenting now

Slovenia is endorsing the two state solution

Stating that it is concerning that negotiations aren't moving despite the UN's best efforts

Stating that the need for negotiations and an existing framework are not compelling reasons for the court to not give a ruling

Second speaker is talking about the right to self-determination and how it is included in the UN charter, and mentioning agreements Israel signed related to this

Talking about violations of the laws regarding occupation of territory, same as many other presentations before this one

Most of what Slovenia said was similar to previous presentations. Now Sudan is presenting

Sudan is hoping the ICJ will give their advisory opinion and that it will help lead to peace

Second speaker is addressing the arguments against the ICJ giving an advisory opinion, and the fact that the ICJ has always dismissed such objections

Pointing out that the court can give an advisory opinion on any legal question as long as it is in accordance with the UN charter, and that the UNGA can ask the court for an advisory opinion on any legal question. There goes most of the UK's presentation

Outlining that the court can only decline to give an advisory opinion if there is compelling reasons not to. Now addressing reasons given by others for why they shouldn't give an advisory opinion, and why these arguments are not compelling

Claiming that arguments revolving around the existing framework is not compelling as the framework has been suspended for several years now

Some have argued that since Israel didn't give consent, then the ICJ cannot give an advisory opinion. This didn't stop the court in 2004 when Israel didn't consent back then

Sudan's presentation is finished. They outlined all the reasons why the court has no compelling reason to use its discretionary powers, which seems to be mainly what the delegations defending Israel were arguing for.

Now they're having a 10 minute break before Switzerland, Syria, and Tunisia give their arguments

Resuming now, Switzerland is up

Immediately talking about October 7th and the following humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but stating that they will not focus on that, but will instead focus on the legal questions regarding the occupation

Pointing out that the right of occupation and legality of occupation are two different things, governed by different laws

May these IOF soldiers burn in the fiery embers of hell for an eternity if they aren't already. There cannot be anything else but this for ALL of them right now to repeatedly suffer an unbearable weight of pain that never ends -I cannot accept anything but their entire sadistic, pathetic, violent existences to end up in the pits of despair where they wished they never committed atrocities.

I hope these young girls and children are resting safely in peace -because this is just beyond heartbreaking.

Yes. Actually, a big reason one of my grandparents "left" (read: fled were exiled) was because my great grandfather had heard of the sexual assaults towards girls and women and decided he needed to protect his daughters, my grandmother. Many families fled was because of these stories of rape and assault. Israel was literally founded on violence against women and girls and it hasn't stopped since. For 75 years.

Nothing is more devastating than this. The UN World Food Program has officially suspended aid delivery to northern Gaza, citing violence and lack of safety as major reasons the aid trucks aren’t getting through. Israeli officers are liberally shooting at Palestinians who try to approach the trucks in hopes of getting even the smallest morsels of food, despite the fact that Israel has allowed only one crossing for the already woefully low numbers of aid they’re permitting entry. Reportedly this number has fallen from 140 a day in January to just 60 a day this month, and now 16% of all Gazan children under 2 are “acutely malnourished.” Meanwhile, the US vetoes a call for a ceasefire for the third fucking time. It’s so inhumane in its cruelty it’s actually shocking to see it being allowed to go on and on, and on an international level no less.
