Amnesty International called on states to pressure Israel to end what it characterizes as genocide in Gaza, following South Africa's submission of evidence to the International Court of Justice documenting Israel's alleged non-compliance with provisional court orders in a genocide case.
The human rights organization's statement came as South Africa presented documentation to the ICJ regarding Israel's adherence to legally binding interim measures the court had previously issued in proceedings over genocide allegations.
Human rights advocates have characterized the submission as a significant moment for international accountability, with Amnesty pressing governments to use the filing as grounds for escalating diplomatic pressure on Israel.
