On April 9, Germany defended itself from claims that its arms sales to Israel were playing a role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Arguing before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), lawyers for Germany maintained that most of the equipment it has supplied since October 7 2023 was non-lethal.
Nicaragua brought this case against Germany at the ICJ as Alain Pellet, a lawyer for Nicaragua, urged judges to order a cessation of German weapons sales to Israel, a request which the court ruled against last week.
