Nicaragua has taken a significant step by requesting the United Nations' highest court to halt German arms supplies to Israel, igniting a pivotal case against Germany.
The accusation centers on Germany's violation of the UN genocide treaty through its military exports to Israel and its decision to cease support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), as reported by BBC.
Berlin has refuted these claims and announced plans to present its defense to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday.
Data from 2023 reveal that Germany contributed to over 30% of Israel's military equipment imports, with transactions amounting to €300 million.
The allegations against Germany draw upon a separate case initiated by South Africa in January, where the Hague's judges mandated Israel to take comprehensive measures to avert genocidal crimes.
