Arab and Muslim countries must refer the United States to the ICJ

PORTLAND - In December of 2023, the Republic of South Africa lodged a case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel for the crime of Genocide, a case that has been joined by many member countries of the United Nations (https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192). As the case has been moving ahead at the world’s highest court, two countries—Israel and the United States—have not been silent but in contravention to global opinion have attacked the Court and its proceedings.
