SA-Israel ICJ case | Vaughan Lowe KC

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Vaughan Lowe KC explained that this case was brought under Article 9 of the Geneva Convenstion. Now we should only be concerned about provisional measures. The case has been made.
The ferocity, scale and speed can only be seen as intent, and Israel has publicly stated it will continue. The court must allow provisions if its likely to stop the genocidal actions from continuing. He also asked the court to preserve its integrity.
South Africa understands acts such as ethnic cleansing or war crimes are not always genocidal. This requires intent. But that the actions may overlap does not prevent a pronouncement of genocide.
The first request is for the suspension of military operations. This is the focus of the case. Israel say its target is Hamas, but the indiscriminate nature of the military campaign don’t support claim that Hamas are the target.
Prevention of aid is also proof that civilians are targets. Even the US has admitted too many civilians are being killed. Humanitarian ceasefire is the only way to get aid into Gaza. Israel says it’s trying to avoid civilian casualties, even as it uses dumb bombs etc. But the intention is key, and that’s when it becomes genocide.
One of the provisions is that the government of Israel is legally obliged to punish others to carry out such actions.
Lives are stake. Israel’s reputation is at stake. No free reporting, hence the request to preserve evidence. SA also asks for reports from Israel about what it is doing.
Israel used ‘self-defence’ as the reason to build the wall which it controls, and the barrier which it is now itself breaching. The UN has declared Gaza is an occupied territory, because Israel controls access and supplies. What Israel doing, it is doing in territory it controls. Therefore it is not self defence.
No matter how monstrous an action, genocide is never a permitted response. The publicly available evidence, and restriction of water, food, electricity etc, mean the government and the military is responsible (not the citizens or Jews). Nothing can ever justify genocide, no matter how great the threat, against a whole group of people.
Israel does not seem to see it has done anything wrong. And that could lead to awful consequences. The right to refer genocide to the ICJ is one of the keys in the original Geneva Convention document. States must respect the court and its procedural obligations.
Thank you Vaughan Lowe, blessings to you and all RSA lawyers. Justice will prevail. Thank you South Africa.
Great job in history of South Africa. Many thanks
Brilliant speech from KC and South Africa and ALL those supporting this justified action.
I can listen to him all day. Well read and said as to the urgency to act to protect.
Hamas started this fight.
@@Alidavd That is not disputed.
@@Alidavd that is actually false because the dispute goes back to the 1940s. Ongoing. But even if it were the case they started it, are we in kindergarden? And also as barrister said nothing nothing can justify a genocide. And i for one am glad to agree with that.
@@Alidavd How does that justify Israel's trying to kill off the Palestinian population in Gaza? You also forgot the part where Netanyahu supported and helped Hamas get stronger, so...
South Africa is hypocritical because it has not controlled the inexcusable killing and robbing of their own Dutch farmers by blacks.
The world listening now .Thanks to South African.
Nothing on the British media
Maître Vauhan Lowe, is brilliant, he argued like a judge , the way, the justices would see the case. Bravo.
I would want this man to be my lawyer for anything period!
Thanks for South Africa bring the best Lawyers.❤
A breath-taking decomposition of the Israeli self-defense arguments. The objectivity in his oral capacity successfully illuminated the seriousness of the situation and the categorical imperative ICJ is faced with.
@@izetapurisic7556 exactly! You can't claim self-defense in an occupied territory!
I can listen to SA defence over and over, common values, humanity, family, a fight against immeasurable injustice and suffering. Israel's poor defence justifying mass murder and destruction is just sickening
Agreed
I have listened many times. I am proud of their meticulous detailed work and for their articulate oral evidence. People of courage and integrity
"The truth is like a lion, You don't have to defend it, Let it loose, It will defend itself"

Love your quote💗💗💗🙏🙏
Amen!
After hearing this brilliant man, hope is not lost. His speech was a definitive proof against the wicked israeli government and military

Wait till you hear Israel, then learn how stupid the claim of SA will look like! 😂 Abduls, it appears that your Government don't know what genocide means. Here you go, back to school again.
Genocide of farmers is genocide to our country, where government eyes and ears are closed ,is this justified. where are court cases about Julias malema insiting genocide wake up.start these court cases these everything will be justified. War is war people of palistininian was told by by Israel to move to safe places before bombings. Hama was using civilians as Shields see the real picture.
Thank you for defending the innocent and vulnerable.
It's very sad that we have to go through burocracy to stop such horrific crimes
Just brilliant..A man of integrity and delivery
He has no integrity as long as he does not acknowledge the genocide in South Africa it self
Heartbreaking! This is awful to hear, we are all tramatized by what we have seen!
And the world stands by and watch!
There is another way!
Finally, justice for the innocent children and civilians in Gaza
What a brilliant!! I never tired of his speach, the world doesn’t want you know this brilliant information
The right side of history!!
wrong*
These are high top quality lawyers.
May almighty bless you and your every voice and efforts for sake of humanity and suffering of innocent Palestinian people and children's and whole humorous human beings in the world.
Very powerful presentation
Thank you Thank you thank you.. Since this entire fiasco began this is the very first time I have heard ANYBODY use the phrase "innocent men".. why is this..?
I love the tradition and ceremony of the court... the wigs.. chandeliers.. Who needs Netflix when you can watch this!
What an amazing guy thanks for your work and expertise 🥰
What a brave SA. Challenges lions
Thank you South Africa, thank you Madiba for this just country you fight for
Well argued 🙌🔥🔥
Wawww I can hear this man all day long, BRITISH made, great human and through presentation 👏

Netanyahu : "We are doing the most moral genocide with the most moral diaper army in the Universe"
The bold and bravest in SA team. Simply argued Hamas may have committed crimes but it doesn’t have state but Israel has a state and committed genocide against Palestinians.
Hamas started this war
@@Alidavdoh … ok Ali - your well argued case agains the evidence you are clearly incapable of hearing in this clip, persuades the ZA commission and all the millions around the world who supports it in bringing its case to the ICJ, to bow to your wisdom and we withdraw our case against isreal who have only been committing atrocities and genocide for the last 75 years. But of course you know better than these learned and human-centred members in The Hague ……… wake up! Start listening!!
@@Alidavd😂😂😂you are a joke
11.33 - “it’s no use Israel saying it does whatever it can to minimise the deaths of innocent men, women and children. The use of 2,000 pound bunker buster bombs and dumb bombs in residential areas and the relentless bombardment of Gaza, and even of the so-called safe areas to which Palestinians have been directed by Israel tell another story”.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Top Marks,Sir.
An example of calm detailed reasoning tied in with the relevant law - law students and others hope to become advocates would benefit greatly from watching this.
I SALUTE TO South Africa.
No one have courage to stand against isreal and tell the truth
No on above the internation law. Thanks to South Africa 🇿🇦 free palestine 🇵🇸
Excellent argument
Thank you.
We know exactly what the people of Palestine are going through first hand. We suffered the same fate under the white supremist colonial oppressors, who systematically oppressed and suppressed us, in the same manner as the evil zionist regime is doing to Palestinians. Besides the PLO under Yasser Arafat supported our armed struggle against our oppressors, so we can remain silent, like the rest of the west.
WE CANNOT REMAIN SILENT!
Viva South African viva, long live the spirit of human rights for living on earth viva. Down with Israel and his inhuman acts and his unconditional supporters down.
This is genocide
Well done SA.any one with common sense can see Israel ia over reacting, going frwd you can not indefinetly occupy 6 million people there must be self determination or equality one man one vote etc how can it be justified someone born in usa or poland can live freely in israel yet someone that lived there for over 9 generations is expelled or has no rights etc south africa offers great lesson specially based on its history Boers opreasion under brits then aparthied etc victim turned opressor etc.
🙏👍❤️❤️
thanks very much for keeping this judgment to be true. 😂
Very intelligent
Thank you all lawyers and thank you South Africa to fight for Palestine
Respect you bless you
Dont have any respect for lawers in this country. I yet have to met one that realy cares fot there clients
The White Chalk board in a Palestinian hospital read.
"Whoever stays until the end will tell the story
We did what we could and remember us"
The writter, a Doctor was latter killed by the Isreali shelling on the hospital
I demand Legitimate Defense Protocol to Action.
Technology has developed and crime has developed with it....Israel's crime is unparalleled in history
Jesus bring justice to the Palestinian people. Take care of their wounded and broken children. Lift their hearts and souls and give them strength and hope🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 14:48
Hey deluded fool, wasn't it your jesus who was responsible for the Amalek genocide in the bible? Wasn't Saul through Samuel, via Jesus, who ordered this? Isn't your bible the very book that inspires israel to commit such barbaric crimes against humanity?
Wasn't it your jesus who ordered Samuel, who ordered Saul to do to the Amalek what israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank?
@@gurutruthspeak598 No. Wrong testament.
Hear hear!
Thats a Judge!
USA &UK did violated in Iraq war . ?
I have lost any interest of ever visiting Israel.
Goose bumps...
Without secretary general of assembly United nations any order not possible
Marikana must be part of that court
Спосите народ ПАЛИСТИН
Free palestine thanks south Africa
shame usa and isral
What do you really expect from ICJ to come out with?
I suppose nothing relevant.
"pero cuál genocidio???. Es que hay gente exagerada. Apenas hemos asesinado 23.000 civiles, la mayoría de ellos niños, y por un pequeño error de puntería. Y ni se les ocurra contarnos los asesinatos que ya llevábamos antes del pasado 7 de octubre porque fueron casi 75 años de pequeños errores ".
❤❤❤
Why can't I see how many "likes" this video has?
Africannn roer!!!!
💛
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The government that finds no problem with singing "Kill the boer Kill the farmer" in the middle of a targeted genocide against white farmers in their own country ... explanation required? Should we also mention south africa and what happened in Zimbabwe?
How dare you speak for every South African. Why have you all forgotten what has been done to them? It is only to destroy their enemy. Speak the truth.😢
😢
Will SABC give the same exposure to Israel's defence tomorrow? Let's see
Tomorrow only israel will speak..
who needs a reply - we see with our eyes - what the depraved land stealing, murdering sewer creatures called zionists and their supporters have done over the last 75 yrs to the palestinian people
What defence do you think they will salvage? Gaslighting? Whatsboutisms? Lies? Propaganda? Insane utterances?

Why are worried about another nation we got our own problems to solve. The audacity of these ppl
As a country, it is possible to do more things than one. It is undeniable that we have major issues, but as a country we have full right to go forward with the case. It is actions like these on the international stage, helping another nation, that is of benefit to everyone, including South Africa and its people. That is how diplomacy works.
Selfish thoughts.
@shepherdmaseko8151 no wonder there's so many immigrants here in sa...
@@llk1013 immigration is only a problem if its illegal.More than 80% of U A E or Dubai workers are immigrants. Your country problem is capitalism and inequality which made the natives to compete for low income jobs with migrants when you suppose to be inlcluded in the owning sector. Affects the uneducated which is the natives.mostly men
Love thy neighbour as you love yourself
His voice reminds me of the Top series I've been watching like Harry Potter 🥲
The israel's side came to swim in empty pool.
Hamas is Gasa and Gasa is Hamas.

Is Hamas not committing genecide supported by Iran.
Most judges dont understand english where working in international court, they are little bit lazzy. hope they are just and not manipulated
Lol, under what rock are you living? They have translators.
Love Israel❤❤❤❤
Is kill the boer song not also an intend to act on genocide. South african court approved this song . So israel Amelek song should also be approved by South Africa as its only a song
Is Mary Jane blowing smoke into your face ?
Julius Malema who sung that song is not the President of South Africa at the moment.
It's not about being a president the song has the capability to be seen as genocide song. To a group of people .as per the genocide definition. And this song was approved by the south african court. The Amelia song by Israel was not approved by Israel court.
@@michaelmellet601 come to SA and see how the boers treat black people. I do not condone Julius's song but just come see
Israel will win this case
surely - because the zionists kill or buy everything in their path - so they only win by 1 of those 2 methods
Dream on. You've been exposed genocide supporter.
Shame to the south African court of justice. What a shame that the south African eyes that saw the death of the tourist and have sympathy but blinded for the innocent Israel' people. Go back to your own land and make justice for your own citizen
blood beneficiaries will be always like Miskitos, their wealth were sacrificed by human blood and none justice. Tomorrow your menu in your plate will be full of untasted human organs. If you live in a glass house don't throw the stone. Be careful of your privilege can make you to be a stupid of a life time.
You sound scared of truth
So you know the meaning of a Court of Justice. Israel Dictatorships has NONE.
@@Nigelzenighe is scared just like netayu shting on his pants 😂
South Africa is a failed state, paid off by the Islamists.
Dont protect hamas
We are not concerned about Hamas.
It's the lives of the people on and under the rubble that matter.
This war will continue until palestine and israel agree to live in peace . This court case may have merit but will not solve the issue. This icedent will happen over and over until both parties accept the two state with no aggression against each other.
@@michaelmellet601Israel doesn't want peace, you f***in' brain dead imbecile! Wt** have you been watching?
Free Free Palestine from the River to the Sea!
If the anc had one of there members to speak here, this hearing would've gone on for months. With zondo, indefinitely! 😂 😂
True South Africans are the embarressed ones right now.
I am not, in fact I'm PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN. If you don't feel for Palestinians, you don't have a heart; you're an empty human shell without a soul.
Please explain your comment. You are not making any sense.
Always remember that you are a European settler and we are not surprised that you support the genocide against the Arab people
He’s white ..definitely not a real African
I am embarest by this racist governent. That dont care about the genocide in this country
What a shame law 🤣🤣🤣
Wake up! Israel's true face has been exposed. Think outside your primitive, colonial greed.

Your obviously also genocidal as you label whole countries guilty. Thats exactly what the Israelis have done this makes you a hypocrit. Why not say the UK government should be held responsible? Otherwise you are the same as Israel blaming an entire people
After Israel speaks, the anc will recieve education!! 😂
Education from who? Heartless people? Only NAZIs justify mass murder of other human beings.
Yeah causes only white people and Jews can read and interpret the law ..
I expect an hour of desperate damage control and reckless covering of the truth on the part of Israel...
Should be entertaining to watch
Don't expose your lack of education and morals.
My breathing is just fine. I am relaxed, not as tense as you all are. I know whom I've believed. You can take your threats to the weird to whom you subscribe to. The anc came into this decision, unlettered, misinformed, pathetically researched, and in their presentation, they were reporting news. They went into it unlettered, and will come out, if possible, schooled. Just watch how much fun Israel will have with this baseless and unfounded claim. Hey, I wonder if they know what genocide means! 😂 😂 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
