Coalition Statement, Letter Sign-on in Support of South Africa’s Genocide Convention Case
The Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition, with a growing membership across the Americas, Europe, and beyond, is pleased to sign on to the “Letter Calling on States to Support South Africa’s Genocide Convention Case Against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ),” and invites other organizations to do so here. The Nica Coalition firmly supports this effort to stop the US-Israeli genocide against the people of Gaza, as the international community has been demanding for over three months.
We are not surprised that the Government of National Unity and Reconciliation of Nicaragua, which practices a people-centered approach to human rights, was one of the first to call out the genocide underway in Gaza, and one of the first national governments to express support for the South African Application to the Court under the Genocide Convention. We are pleased to see that the Nicaraguan government has also expressed its full support for the efforts of international civil society to help countries file a Declaration of Intervention with the ICJ, and that it will do so itself at the earliest opportunity within the Court’s proceedings.

That bill is now in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with companion bill H.R. 6954 in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Votes are expected in these committees soon, – so it’s important for us to take action together! Read more….
