Nations covering over a billion people back prosecution while UK shamefully fails to back case – despite backing Myanmar genocide case at ICJ just six weeks ago
Fourteen nations with a population of over a billion people – more than the combined populations of the US and EU – have formally co-sponsored South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of genocide. The nations are:
Turkey
Indonesia
Malaysia
Bolivia
Nicaragua
Maldives
Venezuela
Namibia
Morocco
Bangladesh
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Iran
Jordan
Despite co-signing a genocide case against Myanmar only six weeks ago – specifically because of Myanmar’s crimes against Rohingya children – the UK continues to refuse to back South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel, which has murdered more than thirty thousand people, including around thirteen thousand children.
Yet again, the UK and US are backing the oppressors against the oppressed – and the world knows it.
