South Africa has taken Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of genocide in the Gaza war and demanding an immediate halt to its military actions. The ICJ, also known as the World Court, is the United Nations' top legal institution, created in 1945 to resolve disputes between countries. Both South Africa and Israel have signed the 1948 Genocide Convention, which grants the ICJ authority to decide on disputes related to the treaty.
