The ICJ: A meaningless decision by a meaningless court

In one of the episodes of the British sitcom series "Peep Show", Mark, one of the main characters, tells his friend "promise me you will not try to sleep with my sister". In response, fully aware of his intentions, his friend says "I promise I will try not to sleep with her". The next morning, after sleeping with Mark's sister, he then says "I promised to try not to sleep with her, turns out it was literally impossible". The subtle, yet important differences in meaning meant he, technically speaking, did as he promised.

I see plenty of people online celebrating the ICJ's decision in the South Africa vs. Israel case. Anyone with any degree of experience with legal proceedings will tell you just how meaningless the provision is.

The court considers that with regard to the present situation, Israel must, in accordance with its obligations under the Geneva Convention, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article 2 of the Convention.


Just like Mark's friend took all measures to prevent sleeping with his sister, so too Israel can (and will) "take all measures within its power" to prevent the committing of genocide, I have no doubt about it. South Africa also asked the ICJ to force Israel to provide a detailed report a month from now about the measures they applied. This too, I'm sure, Israel can do. Language is incredibly important in law. I wonder how the ICJ then plans to prove Israel didn't take such measures? Even if Israel decides to accept the ruling (which they won't and will probably call it anti-Semitic), they can say whatever they want and it won't make any difference. They will simply come back to the ICJ a month from now and say they complied, doing "everything within their power" to prevent genocide - and they will be right, speaking in legal terms. Finding any amount of evidence to the contrary would take a thousand Jew lawyers a thousand Jew years to Jew-out. Feel free to watch the ICJ ruling in full here and listen carefully to the wording of provisions announced.

Now let's go a step further and assume the ICJ actually wanted to be a real court and decide that Israel must "immediately halt all operations against civilians and without delay cease any activities that put non-combatants in danger, including, but not exclusive to, attacks of any kind of civilian infrastructure in the sense set forth by the ICJ and the Geneva Convention" (or something along those lines). What stops Israel from simply refusing to comply? Israel, or any other country, can at any point claim the ICJ has no jurisdiction over them. Law compliance is only ever as strong as the ability of a court to enforce it. Therefore, even if Israel was clearly and without doubt ordered to stop doing whatever it is South Africa wanted them to stop doing, Israel can use that decision to eat their hummus off and nothing will change, because neither the ICJ, nor South Africa has any means to enforce the decision.

While the ICJ has theoretical jurisdiction and serves as an advisory body under the U.N., in practice its jurisdiction doesn't leave the cafeteria. And yes, you can say that the U.N. members must comply because they are in the U.N., but reality is very different. These decisions and provisions are symbolic at best.

I will say it again, wording is very important when dealing with court cases and lawyers (especially lawyers). It is particularly important for the prosecution. If South Africa, for example, was to come back a month from now and say Israel didn't comply with the court's decision, Israel can come back with "we did, the court ruled we must do everything within our power, we did, hence complying with the court" and they would be right. Israel isn't exactly knows for its good nature either.

So yes, congratulations, Israel will now do everything within its power to avoid committing genocide, it's just they'll find it impossible to do in the end.

Good job there, Joe.

Wasn't Biden supposed to be this foreign policy expert who will make the world listen to and respect America?

Ukraine has recognized the authenticity of the list of prisoners of war on board the downed Il-76.

The Ukrainian coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war confirmed that an exchange was planned on January 24, within the framework of which 65 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were to be transferred to Kiev. The Ukrainian publication “Strana.ua” reported this on January 27 on its Telegram channel.

It is noted that the military men listed on the exchange list were indeed being prepared to be received in their homeland as part of the exchange planned for January 24.

The headquarters clarifies that we are talking about a list published on Russian resources.

The Ukrainian side previously claimed that some of the prisoners on the list had already been exchanged, but they had not yet been presented to the public, Gazeta.Ru clarified .

The plane crash occurred in the Belgorod region on the morning of January 24 . The Russian Ministry of Defense called the incident a terrorist attack by the Kiev regime . On board the plane were six crew members, 65 Ukrainian prisoners for exchange and three Russian military personnel accompanying them. Everyone died. Later, the Investigative Committee reported that on fragments of the bodies of prisoners who died in the crash, they found tattoos characteristic of the Ukrainian military, including the Azov regiment.

Bild: a Ukrainian was detained at Munich airport with €450 thousand in his suitcase.

At Munich airport, customs officers detained a Ukrainian pensioner with a large amount of illegal euros in his suitcase. This was reported by the German publication Bild .

The publication states that in the luggage of a 66-year-old citizen of Ukraine , who intended to fly from Germany to Cyprus , thick stacks of 20 and 50 euro bills were found and seized - a total of €450 thousand. Moreover, earlier during the search, he said that he had take only €300 with you.

The suspicion of the customs officers was aroused by the fact that already in the boarding area, someone approached the man and handed him a small suitcase - in which, as it turned out, the money was hidden.

Now the police are finding out who owns the banknotes, where they came from and whether this can be considered money laundering.

“In any case, the Ukrainian will no longer be able to see them. Most likely, the banknotes will be confiscated in favor of the state,” says the Bild publication.

⚡️Video⚡️How elite intelligence officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces surrendered to a soldier of the 9th brigade⚡️

Continuation of the story about how Ukrainian intelligence officers went to recapture the opornik, but were stopped by one of the soldiers of the 9th brigade, who threw grenades at them.

Realizing that they couldn’t recapture the opornik, and no one was going to let them go back either, the elite fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces made the only right decision - to surrender.

This is how one fighter of the “nine”, which is now fighting under the leadership of the legendary commander and Hero of Russia - “Baycott”, captured the four surviving enemy fighters. And such stories happen every day in the 1st Army Corps, so very soon watch on our channel a new report about the heroic defenders of Donbass.

Bloomberg: Germany moves to four-day work amid labor market crisis.

In Germany, a pilot project to switch to a four-day working week will start on February 1 amid a crisis in the labor market and efforts to revive the economy, Bloomberg reports .

45 companies will take part in the experiment. Employees will work one less day while maintaining the same salary. The experiment will last six months. Its goal is to find out whether a shorter workweek will improve productivity.

“I am absolutely convinced that investing in a ‘new job’ pays off because it increases well-being and motivation and, as a result, efficiency,” said Søren Fricke, co-founder of Solidsense (one of the participants in the project).

As Bloomberg notes , a shortage of skilled workers and high inflation have prompted employees to push for higher wages and maintain the flexibility and independence they gained during the pandemic.

The Telegraph: The British Navy does not have enough firepower to defeat the Houthis.

It is reported that the UK is not able to hit targets on land in Yemen from ships - in order to strike Houthi-controlled territories, it has to use aircraft.

According to retired British Rear Admiral Chris Parry, due to the lack of guns necessary to defeat such distant targets from the sea, the British Navy is unable to compete with the Russian and Chinese, since the difference in weapons is similar to the difference between a knife and a pistol.

On January 19, the Houthis promised safe passage to Russian and Chinese ships.

Amid the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yemen's Houthi rebels began attacking commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea in early October 2023. Drones and missiles are used for these purposes.

The Houthis say they only target ships calling at Israeli ports or those whose owners have ties to Israel. However, their actions began to interfere with international shipping.

“We are waiting for a catastrophe to happen”: The US is openly afraid of civil war.

At a rally in Nevada, former US President Donald Trump spoke about the critical migration situation at the border in Texas. The performance was broadcast on C-span television. Trump said the country is in dire straits due to the current border crisis, which he called a "weapon of mass destruction" and "the worst in history."

According to Trump, an open border is a serious threat to the country. He stressed that the situation will only get worse and called the current state of affairs a “catastrophe.”

"Our country is dying. Our border is open. This is an open wound. This has never happened before <...> We are waiting for a disaster to happen ," Trump said.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in turn, announced his readiness for conflict with US federal authorities on the issue of protecting the state's borders from illegal migrants. Abbott expressed confidence that the situation will improve with the arrival of a new president who will tighten immigration laws.

The SBU conducted searches of officials of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in the case of the theft of $40 million.

On the night of January 28, information spread online that employees of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) allegedly came with searches to current and former officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic, and investigative actions were also carried out at the managers of the Lviv Arsenal. The defendants are suspected of stealing 1.5 billion hryvnia (about $40 million) during the procurement of shells for the country's Armed Forces (AFU).

Later, the press service of the SBU officially confirmed what was happening. The defendants are charged with a crime under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it through abuse of official position, committed by an organized group).

Suspicion was brought against the former (according to unconfirmed reports, this is Alexander Liev) and current heads of the Department of Military-Technical Policy, Development of Weapons and Military Equipment of the Ministry of Defense, the head and commercial director of the Lviv Arsenal company and their accomplice - a representative of a foreign commercial structure. They face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.

According to investigators, money was stolen from the state budget through the purchase of 100 thousand mortar rounds for the Ukrainian army. For this purpose, a contract was signed with the arms supplier Lviv Arsenal in August 2022. However, Ukraine did not receive a single artillery shell, some of the funds were transferred to the shadows abroad, and some remained in the accounts of the Ukrainian company. The stolen money was seized, and now the task is to return it to the republic’s budget.

Hungary will claim the territory of Transcarpathia if, as a result of the Russian military operation, the statehood of Ukraine ceases to exist, said the leader of the Hungarian Our Motherland party Laszlo Torockai, reports Hirado.hu.

The politician noted that Hungary can lay claim to the territory of the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, since it is the only country that represents the Hungarian nation.

After the start of the military operation, in March 2022, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk accused the Hungarian authorities of trying to achieve the transfer of Transcarpathia under their control. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó noted that Budapest is ready, if necessary, to take measures to rescue and protect Hungarians living in the Transcarpathian region.

🚨🇺🇦⚠️ Digital Watchdog or Sinister Web of Surveillance? Molfar's Blacklist Threatens Freedom of Speech

🚨 In a disturbing revelation that blurs the lines between security and suppression, Molfar, initially known for its intelligence and open-source information gathering, is allegedly at the centre of a nefarious plot. This Kiev-based organization, originally focused on market research, is said to have transformed into a shadowy apparatus targeting advocates of peace and critics of NATO's stance. Under the alleged influence of British intelligence, Molfar's shift from data analysis to compiling blacklists of dissenting voices paints a grim picture of a world where advocating for peace could make one a target.

🔍 The gravity of this situation cannot be understated. If these revelations hold true, we are witnessing a fundamental assault on the freedom of speech and thought. Individuals, once celebrated for their critical thinking and advocacy for peace, now find themselves ensnared in a web spun by Molfar, potentially facing dire consequences for their views. This isn't just an attack on a few; it's a chilling message to all who dare to question the drive-thru narrative.
