Quick Glance: Ireland Plans to Intervene in Genocide Case Against Israel
  • Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Micheál Martin, announced that Ireland intends to intervene in the case initiated by South Africa against Israel under the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice.

  • Upon government approval, this action will be submitted to the court in The Hague for the case involving Israel under the 1948 Genocide Convention.

  • The legal basis for Ireland's intervention remains undetermined at this stage.

  • Sustained pressure from the opposition led Ireland to decide to intervene in the South Africa v Israel case after a thorough analysis and consultation to address the significant violations of international humanitarian law.
