SHOCK Shift At The ICJ Worst Possible News For Israel!

A dramatic shift at the International Court of Justice might just have Netanyahu pulling his comb-over out! Right, so matters have just taken a distinct turn for the worse for Israel at the International Court of Justice, because where they thought matters might have swung in their favour following the resignation of ICJ President Nawaf Salam to take up the post of Prime Minister of Lebanon, ridding them of a judge at the ICJ from a nation they are currently invading, who had a deciding vote at that, matters have now slammed fully back into reverse. You see following Salam’s departure, the vice President of the ICJ took over, the one judge on the ICJ 15 person panel you absolutely didn’t want in charge, the avowedly pro Israel Christian Zionist from Uganda Julia Sebutinde, who’s filling in for Salam I have covered previously. It was figured that she would see out the remainder of Salam’s elected term as President up to 2027, but in a sign of what could be taken as something of a no confidence vote in her, and not without good reason, an election was instead called to fill Salam’s vacant post for the reminder of his term, and she didn’t win. The guy who has, might just be Israel’s worst nightmare. Right, so the International Court of Justice, the ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, the mosrt powerful court on the planet has elected Japanese judge Yuji Iwasawa as its new president, which is a development that could have profound implications for Israel’s ongoing genocide case brought by South Africa against them and none of it is good news for them. Iwasawa’s election comes at a critical juncture in international law, this case will define them in terms of the credibility like no other in modern times, it is easily one of the most contentious and high-profile cases in its history. SO the significance of Iwasawa’s appointment, his background, and his stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank are particularly noteworthy, we all need to know a bit about this guy and why he’s potentially bad news for Israel, particularly in light of critical statements he has issued regarding Israeli aggression in the Middle East. So who is this guy then Damo? Well, Yuji Iwasawa, is the Japanese jurist on the ICJ, 70 years of age, he brings considerable experience and expertise to the ICJ presidency and after Sebutinde and the revelations about her having come to light, restores some sense of credibility to the ICJ once more. Iwasawa was elected to the court in 2018, with a CV bursting at the seams of a background in international law, human rights, and constitutional law. He served as a professor at the University of Tokyo and has been a member of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, where he contributed to the interpretation and implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, therefore all in all, we have here a civil, political and human rights motivated lawyer taking the top spot at the ICJ with academic and professional credentials that make him a highly respected figure in the field of international law. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** https://www.youtube.com/KernowDamo?sub_confirmation=1 ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
