Nicaragua files application to World Court, accusing Germany of complicity in Gaza genocide

Nicaragua has formally submitted an application to the International Court of Justice against Germany, accusing the country of both failing to prevent a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, and also of having "contributed to the commission of genocide".

The filing comes after the Latin American nation sent a warning last month to Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Canada, saying it would take the countries to the ICJ over allegations that weapons they are providing Israel are being used in a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Nicaragua was one of several countries, along with Turkey, Jordan, Venezuela, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Namibia, to support South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in January.
