It is recalled that, on 1 March 2024, Nicaragua filed an Application instituting proceedings against Germany concerning alleged violations by Germany of its obligations deriving from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols, "intransgressible principles of international humanitarian law" and other norms of general international law in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the Gaza Strip (see press release 2024/19). The Application also contained a Request for the indication of provisional measures. Public hearings on the request were held on 8 and 9 April 2024 (see press release 2024/28 for the requests made by the Parties)

comment: The ICJ has moved quickly to schedule hearings of South Africa and Nicaragua—contentious cases between states. Having delved into both tribunal's public documentation on jurisdiction, my understanding is that ICJ advisory opinions (findings of law) necessarily precede ICC trial (findings of fact). I'd like to believe that, although ICJ has not issued a final judgment of either case, the ICC prosecutor possesses advance notice of the court's opinion in the first instance, South Africa; hence, premature agitation for and against ICC arrest of Israeli authorities. I'm inclined to expect ICJ judgment by calendar year end, on or about 5 November would be ideal so that trial drags either POTUS-elect through the bowels of hell for FOUR MORE YEARS.
