On January 11 and 12, the International Court of Justice, also called the World Court, will hear testimony in South Africa’s case charging the state of Israel with genocide. Organizations around the world are mobilizing to press their governments to support South Africa publicly and through Declarations of Intervention in the hope that Israel will be held accountable and that effective actions will be taken to protect the rights and lives of people in Palestine.
