Summary of the ways Israel is still not allowed to do genocide:

  1. Israel must take all measures to prevent any acts that could be considered genocidal - killing members of a group, causing bodily harm, inflicting conditions designed to bring about the destruction of a group, preventing births
  2. Israel must ensure its military does not commit any genocidal acts
  3. Israel must prevent and punish any public comments that could be considered incitement to commit genocide in Gaza
  4. Israel must take measures to ensure humanitarian access
  5. Israel must prevent any destruction of evidence that could be used in a genocide case
  6. Israel must submit a report to the court within one month of this order being given

This was after reading into the official record a litany of evils which they seem to be accepting as undisputed facts.

I was expecting them to say if Israel's guilty or not.

It's like if I was on trial for shoplifting and the judge ruled, "I think you shouldn't shoplift"

Law is weird.

That's not what this case was for, it was to establish that there's possibly genocide and that other nations signatory to the genocide conventions must take action to prevent possible genocide.

Actual charges of genocide will need an investigation and lengthy court process.

Edit: just to be clear, I mean from the legal sense about "possible genocide" in that it hasn't been proven in a court. The genocide is obviously happening

the problem is if israel is guilty, then people might actually have to do something about it

laws that can't be enforced aren't laws really

You can't make a case definitive of genocide in 1 hour which is how long South Africa had.
