This was submitted last month in the ICJ Genocide case against *Myanmar*. The factual context is different from Gaza but the Declarants advance interesting arguments re genocidal intent, treatment of children & forced displacement. 2/5
Methods of physical destruction ‘include “subjecting a group of people to a subsistence diet, systematic expulsion from homes and the induction of essential medical services below minimum requirement”’ with ‘lower threshold’ for determining harm 'when the victim is a child’. 3/5
“The Declarants further submit that a violent military operation triggering the forced displacement of members of a targeted group may similarly contribute to evidence of a specific intent to destroy the protected group” 4/5
Whatever your views on the chances of success, you can’t help wondering whether UK, Germany, Canada et al will reiterate these points of law if they decide to intervene in South Africa v Israel…?
