TÁNAISTE ANNOUNCES IRELAND’S INTERVENTION IN PROCEEDINGS AT THE ICJ

From Department of Foreign Affairs 

Published on 11 December 2024

Last updated on 11 December 2024

 

The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin today secured
government approval for Ireland to intervene in South Africa’s International
Court of Justice case against Israel under the Genocide Convention.

Filing of the intervention will take place at the Court in The Hague later this
month.

The government has also approved intervention in The Gambia’s case against
Myanmar under the same Convention.

Following today’s Cabinet meeting, the Tánaiste said:

> "There has been a collective punishment of the Palestinian people through the
> intent and impact of military actions of Israel in Gaza, leaving 44,000 dead
> and millions of civilians displaced.

> "By legally intervening in South Africa’s case, Ireland will be asking the ICJ
> to broaden its interpretation of what constitutes the commission of genocide
> by a State.

> "We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes
> genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians
> is minimised.

> "Ireland’s view of the Convention is broader and prioritises the protection of
> civilian life – as a committed supporter of the Convention, the government
> will promote that interpretation in its intervention in this case.

> "Intervening in both cases demonstrates the consistency of Ireland’s approach
> to the interpretation and application of the Genocide Convention.”
