Progress on the charge of genocide against Israel

After Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, the subsequent devastation of Gaza and tremendous loss of Palestinian lives stunned the world.

In December 2023, the Republic of South Africa took Israel to the International Court of Justice, and in January 2024 the court passed an interim ruling that there was a plausible case to answer for genocide. Fifteen months later, Israel continues to exact terrible retribution with major materiel support from the U.S.

In pursuit of justice, a group of like-minded states came together to defend the Palestinians. The Hague Group -- Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa -- has expressed its intent to hold Israel to account through the court.

Available representatives from the Hague Group and the international legal community will provide an update on the progress of the charge of genocide against Israel at the ICJ.

Closer to home, the Hind Rajab Foundation is at the forefront of mounting legal action worldwide against Israeli war criminals. Their representative, and other speakers, will report on efforts to arrest those war criminals vacationing in Thailand.

Speakers:

Kannavee Suebsaeng, member of parliament, secretary-general of the Fair Party.

Abou Jahjah, Chairman, Hind Rajab Foundation.

Lieutenant General Dr. Somchai Virunhapol, advisor and former chair, PSC Thailand.

Representatives of the Hague Group and the international legal community as available.

Moderator: Nick Ferriman, assistant professor, Mahidol University International College.
