The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in January that third states - like Australia - must take concrete measures like sanctions and arms embargoes to prevent Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. The ICJ Advisory Opinion on Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine again advised in July that countries like Australia impose sanctions on this rogue state. And the UN General Assembly passed a resolution in September urging countries like Australia to implement sanctions against Israel. Thank you to Greens Senators for making a stand in the Senate today, and continuing to demand that Australia meets its international legal obligations by imposing sanctions on Israel. Australia must impose sanctions against Israel to compel it to end its genocide in Gaza, its illegal occupation in the West Bank, and its atrocities across other parts of the region.
