Show solidarity with Nicaragua, South Africa & Palestine as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) begins proceeding on Nicaragua’s case against Germany for aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reveals that US arms make up 69% of Israel’s arsenal; Germany’s arms to Israel account for 30% (rest from elsewhere). Reuters reports German arms exports to Israel are up nearly tenfold since October 7th. Nicaragua wants the ICJ to order Germany to stop arming Israel and reinstate funding for UNRWA in Gaza.
Why isn't Nicaragua suing the US? The US has filed an Article 9 reservation to the Genocide Convention, objecting to the court’s jurisdiction–so Nicaragua is focusing on Germany to avoid the ICJ dismissing the case over Article 9. Still, if we can isolate and pressure Germany, we can further isolate and pressure the US to stop sending weapons, including bunker buster bombs, to Israel.
