On Tuesday 30 April 2024, the International Court of Justice will deliver its Order on the Request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by Nicaragua in the case concerning Alleged Breaches of Certain International Obligations in respect of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Nicaragua v.

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).
