Since January on the request of South Africa, the Worldwide Prison Courtroom in The Hague has been discussing whether or not Israel is responsible of genocide towards Palestinians within the Gaza Strip.
A closing judgment within the case may take years, however the ICC has already requested Israel to chorus from committing genocide in Gaza, a requirement that has been supported by a number of international locations, together with Belgium.
Like all different international locations that signed the 1948 Genocide Conference, Belgium obtained a letter from the ICC requesting its interpretation of the Conference. Talking on Monday, the Belgian overseas minister mentioned “Belgium needs to take part and share its interpretation of Article 2 of the 1948 Conference”.
