International Court of Justice Orders Israel to Immediately Halt Military Offensive in Rafah
The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah. The court ruled on Friday that Israel must immediately cease its military actions and other operations in the area, citing the “immediate risk” to the Palestinian people. South Africa sought additional measures from the court following Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city. Following a case brought by South Africa accusing the country of genocide, the court issued provisional measures in January which stopped short of ordering a ceasefire. We speak with Egyptian human rights activist Hossam Bahgat, founder and executive director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, and Reed Brody, war crimes prosecutor and human rights attorney.

War Crimes Prosecutor Reed Brody on Gambia Victory & U.S./Israel Attacks on ICC
Human Rights Watch is hailing a “monumental victory” after a Swiss court convicted former Gambian Interior Minister Ousman Sonko for crimes against humanity committed under the dictatorship of Yahya Jammeh. Sonko was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in torture, illegal detentions and unlawful killings between 2000 and 2016. He is the second ex-Gambian official convicted in Europe for international crimes committed in Gambia, after a former death squad member received a life sentence in Germany last year. In Part 2 of our discussion with by Reed Brody, a war crimes prosecutor and author of To Catch a Dictator: The Pursuit and Trial of Hissène Habré, he discusses these developments in detail. We also speak with Reed about the International Criminal Court and Gaza.
