Here’s what the ICJ said in its orders to Israel about preventing genocide in Gaza

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) 17-judge panel issued six emergency measures ordering Israel to “take all measures within its power” to prevent acts which could fall foul of the Genocide Convention.

Here’s a summary of the measures Israel must take according to the court’s preliminary ruling:

  • Prevent commission of acts that kill or cause serious bodily or mental harm to Palestinians. The acts are specified within Article Two of the genocide convention.
  • Ensure that its military does not commit any of the aforementioned acts
  • Prevent and punish any direct and public incitement to commit genocide
  • Enable provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza
  • Prevent destruction of any evidence related to allegations of acts of genocide
  • Submit a report to the court on all measures taken to adhere to these orders
