Not looking to open a can of worms here but what on earth do you make of todays ICJ ruling ?

Listening to the summing-up made absolutely no sense to me.
The court stopped short of doing anything to either aid the idea of ceasefire or apportion blame directly and order a retreat.

My thinking is that if this issue came to this court and they issued this "advisement," then there's a very valid reason for it.

@Ynotisay I suspect this isn't a statement on the rights and wrongs of it. This is a statement on South Africa's case before the court.
One wonders why South Africa brought the case and why it wasn't enough

@Picklebobble2 Not sure, It was interesting the initial charge came from South Africa. It's self-serving, and lines up with some of the atrocities in the past there, but perhaps the goal was to encourage other countries.
