“Without a halt to Israel’s military activity in Gaza, there will be no end to the extreme situation facing Palestinian civilians.
Madam President, members of the court, if the indication of provisional measures was justified on the facts in those cases I have cited, how could it not be here in a situation of much greater severity, where the imminent risk of irreparable harm is so much greater?
How could they not be justified in a situation that humanitarian veterans from crisises spanning as far back as the Killing Fields of Cambodia, people who in the words of the United Nations Secretary General, have seen everything, if they say it is so utterly unprecedented, that they are out of words to describe it?
It would be a complete departure from the long established line of jurisprudence that this Court has firmly established and recently reconfirmed for the court not to order provisional measures, in this case, the imminent risk of death, harm and destruction that Palestinians in Gaza face today, and that they risk every day during the pendency of these proceedings, on any view justifies it indeed compels the indication of provisional measures.
Some might say that the very reputation of international law, its ability and willingness to bind and to protect all people equally, hangs in the balance.”
