According to a press release from the Foreign Affairs Department published yesterday Wednesday, the Tunisian initiative is part of Tunisia firm support for the right Palestinian cause.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs wishes to emphasize that the Tunisian initiative comes from the deep conviction of our country in the symbolic significance of this opinion which occurs following a request made by the most representative body of the United Nations the main judicial body,” it said.
The advisory opinion of the CIJ will also have to rule on the measures decreed by the Zionist entity with a view to modifying the demographic composition, the character as well as the status of the holy city of Al-Quds.
The impact of the policies and practices of the Zionist entity on the legal status of the occupation will also be screened within the framework of the advisory opinion of the Hague Court.
Let us recall that in a substantial document of 84 pages, South Africa accuses Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people and tries to prove by its arguments that the military response launched against Gaza goes beyond the self-defense and seeks above all to destroy the inhabitants of the enclave, “as part of the national, racial and ethnic group Palestinian broader”, summarizes the request.
