The International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced that Brazil has formally intervened in a South African complaint against the Zionist regime over violating the Genocide Convention in the Gaza Strip, Mehr News Agency reported.

According to a statement by the Court, Brazil dated September 9 has submitted an intervention statement in accordance with Article 4 of the Statute of the Court. This article gives the countries the right to intervene in countries that are interpreted by the Court.

Brazil said in a statement that he used the right as a member of the Convention on the prohibition of genocide.

He has also emphasized that the interpretation of articles one, two and three of the Conventions in this case is subject to judgment and has presented its legal views.

The Court has emphasized that any interpretation that is issued in the final sentence will also be binding for Brazil.

Accordingly, the Court has called on South Africa and the Zionist regime to present their written opinion on Brazilian intervention.

The South African case against Israel was registered on December 5. It has accused Tel Aviv of violating its commitments under the Genocide Convention on attacks against Palestinians in Gaza.

Since then, the Court has issued a set of temporary measures that require Israel to prevent the crime of genocide.

Brazil joined countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Türkiye, Chile and Ireland, who have so far called for intervention in the case.

The International Court of Justice, headed by the Hague, is the main jurisdiction of the United Nations and is investigating legal disputes between countries.
