ICJ Rejects Nicaragua's Request for Provisional Measures Against Germany
The International Court of Justice ruled against Nicaragua's plea to halt German military aid to Israel, citing compliance with international law by Germany.
- The ICJ found no evidence that German arms transfers to Israel facilitated genocide or violated international humanitarian law.
- Germany argued it has stringent licensing standards for arms exports to ensure compliance with international norms.
- The court expressed deep concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza but chose not to issue emergency measures.
- Despite rejecting the provisional measures, the ICJ will continue to hear the case, which could take years to resolve.
- Nicaragua's request focused on stopping German military aid and resuming funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency.
