01:18whaling in Antarctica, genocide, continental shelf delimitation, nuclear disarmament,

01:29The ICJ's ruling, announced by President Judge Nawaf Salam, responded to an application

01:35from South Africa accusing Israel of action amounting to genocide.

01:40The court mandated Israel to cease any actions that could lead to the physical destruction

02:21military operations in Rafah comply with international law and that they do not intend to create

02:27conditions leading to the destruction of the Palestinian population.

02:37military operations would continue wherever deemed necessary.

02:48implementation, emphasizing that adherence to ICJ resolutions is mandatory and highlighting
