President of IJC confirms that it did not decide that SA's claim of genocide was plausible. [View all]

Joan O’Donoghue, President of Int’l Court of Justice when it made its Provisional Measures Order in SA’s case v. Israel alleging genocide, has confirmed it did not decide that SA’s claim of genocide was plausible.

Here's what the IJC actually ruled

Palestinians have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and SA has a right to present that claim in the Court.


-----------------------------------------------------------

Ms. O’Donoghue was glad to have the opportunity to address the media's mistaken claim and also noted that

"The Court did not decide, and this is something where I'm correcting what's often said in the media, it didn't decide that the claim of genocide was plausible."
