Irish Attorney General Rossa Fanning takes a stand against Israel at the ICJ, calling out serious breaches of international law.

Irish Attorney General Rossa Fanning, representing Ireland at the ICJ Advisory Opinion Hearings, made a powerful statement condemning Israel's actions in Gaza. Fanning highlighted that Israel's attacks against Palestine are a serious breach of international law, emphasizing the obligation of states not to aid in maintaining the unjust situation. He stressed that Israel's actions have exceeded the limits of self-defense and are disproportionate, accusing Israel of annexing Palestinian territory.

During his speech at The Hague, Fanning criticized Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, the destruction of Palestinian property, and the ongoing violence inflicted on Palestinians. He emphasized the need for accountability and justice for the Palestinian people and urged the international community to address the violations of international law committed by Israel.

In the midst of the hearings, Fanning's speech resonated strongly as he declared that Israel has committed serious breaches of peremptory norms of general international law. His words echoed Ireland's firm stance against the occupation and oppression faced by Palestinians, reaffirming the country's commitment to upholding human rights and advocating for justice on the international stage.

Rossa Fanning's address at the ICJ underlined Ireland's unwavering support for Palestinian rights and its condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza. As the hearings continue, Fanning's impassioned plea for justice and accountability reverberates, urging the global community to stand against violations of international law and ensure a just resolution for the Palestinian people.
