Ireland will formally intervene in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) this month.

The move to file an intervention at the UN’s top court at The Hague will happen later this month, and comes after Government approval of the measure on Wednesday.

Ireland will be asking the ICJ to broaden its interpretation of what constitutes genocide.

The Irish Government also approved an intervention in The Gambia’s case against Myanmar, also under the Genocide Convention.
