Israel/Gaza War: Islamic organisation seeks enforcement of ICJ judgement

An Islamic organisation, Aqsah Nigeria, has charged world leaders, particularly government in Africa to enforcement the July 19, 2024 ruling of the International Court of Justice, (ICJ), which declared Israel’s war on Palestinian territories as unlawful.

The organisation has also called for mass mobilisation of people and continuous public awareness to uphold the judgement with a view to end the ongoing killings and displacement of Palestinians.

Speaking in Ibadan at a World Press Conference  in collaboration with the International Institute for Human Heritage and other Muslim Organisations, the Director, Aqsah Nigeria, Rasheed Atta, said annexation of Palestine’s territories and discriminatory policies against the people were violations of International law, which should be stopped.

According to him,  “We are in support of the Palestinians on humanitarian grounds; we are concerned about the right to live. It is a coincidence that majority of Palestinians are Muslims.

“The world must know the ICJ and its meaning. People who have struggled with the Palestinian people and those just join have a duty to mobilise within their powers and ensure the pronouncement is not another empty judgement”, Sanni said.

He added that the judgement by the President of ICJ, Justice Nawaf Salaam is a clarion call for all global leaders and superpowers to rise against humiliation and oppression of the Palestinians.

Sanni urged the UN to stop a few countries from superintending the whole world, commending the 35 countries which cut ties with Israel for war crimes in Palestine.
