Germany has filed a motion to dismiss Nicaragua’s case against it at the International Court of Justice, arguing that the allegations of genocide in Gaza lack legal merit.

The outcome may hinge on whether the court accepts Nicaragua’s framing of the situation as meeting the threshold for genocide under international conventions.
