Nicaragua verklagt Deutschland vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof und beantragt einstweilige Maßnahmen

Nicaragua wirft Deutschland vor, gegen seine Verpflichtungen aus der Völkermordkonvention, den Genfer Konventionen von 1949 und ihren Zusatzprotokollen, zwingenden Grundsätze des humanitären Völkerrechts und anderen Normen des allgemeinen Völkerrechts in Bezug auf die besetzten palästinensischen Gebiete, insbesondere den Gazastreifen, verstoßen zu haben.

Es heißt in der Klageschrift: "The facts leave no doubt as to the imminent risk of a complete humanitarian catastrophe and yet, Germany continues to deliver political, financial and military aid to Israel while at the same time defunding the agency in charge of delivering humanitarian aid, including the much needed emergency services in times of hostilities."

Nicaragua beantragt die folgenden einstweiligen Maßnahmen:

(1) Germany shall immediately suspend its aid to Israel, in particular its military assistance including military equipment, in sor far as this aid may be used in the violation of the Genocide Convention, international humanitarian law or other peremptory norms of general international law such as the Palestinian People’s right to self-determination and to not be subject to a regime of apartheid;

(2) Germany must immediately make every effort to ensure that weapons already delivered to Israel are not used to commit genocide, contribute to acts of genocide or are used in such a way as to violate international humanitarian law;

(3) Germany must immediately do everything possible to comply with its obligations under humanitarian law;

(4) Germany must reverse its decision to suspend the funding of UNRWA as part of the compliance of its obligations to prevent genocide and acts of genocide and the violation of the humanitarian rights of the Palestinian People which also includes the obligation to do everything possible to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches the Palestinian people, more particularly in Gaza;

(5) Germany must cooperate to bring to an end the serious breaches of peremptory norms of international law by ceasing its support, including its supply of military equipement to Israel that may be used to commit serious crimes of international law and that it continue the support of the UNRWA on which this Organizations has counted and based its activities.
