   Hearing resumes. South Africa continues making its case, describing the rights that South Africa seeks to preserve in Gaza

   Says that what is happenings now is NOT a conflict between two parties. It's an occupying power oppressing and committing genocidal acts against Palestinians. Points out that the oppression has been going on for over 75 years.

     Points out that it's not the court's task at this point to determine whether *actual* genocide is taking place, or whether it's the *only* possible explanation of what is happening.

     The bar for demonstrating genocidal intent is lower.

     The point here is to stop the occupying force from carrying out whatever it's doing, to prevent (any additional) genocide taking place

     In making its case, South Africa repeatedly refers the court to its ruling in a case of The Gambia against Myanmar on genocide, which you can find here: https://icj-cij.org/case/178

     South Africa quotes a representative who says that, over their decades-long experience, they haven't seen any case as severe as what's happening in Gaza in terms of speed and scale
