MBABANE:Brazil has confirmed a move to intervene in a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging that, Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza, as non-Western countries step up calls for greater pressure, Aljazeera reported.
The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was in the “final stages” of submitting a formal intervention to the ICJ regarding the case, originally brought by South Africa.
“The international community cannot remain inactive in the face of ongoing atrocities. Brazil believes there is no longer room for moral ambiguity or political omission. Impunity undermines international legality and undermines the credibility of the multilateral system,” Brazil Foreign Ministry said through the statement.
