Having cornered Israel in the ICJ, SA now turns its attention to the US and the UK.
Nearly 50 South African lawyers, led by attorney Wikus Van Rensburg, are gearing up to file a lawsuit against the United States and the United Kingdom, asserting their complicity in Israeli forces’ war crimes in Palestine, Anadolu Agency reports. This initiative follows South Africa’s filing of a genocide case against “Israel” at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Rensburg, the driving force behind the legal action, aims to prosecute those complicit in the crimes through civilian courts, collaborating with legal professionals in the US and UK.
In an interview with Anadolu, Rensburg emphasized the need to hold the US accountable for its actions and highlighted the forthcoming legal proceedings against Washington and London.
“The United States must now be held accountable for the crimes it committed,” Rensburg stated. “No one says stop, enough is enough.”
30 years ago, when the old Apartheid SA passed the torch to new, African SA, the smart money would have predicted a steep decline in all things. It’s been a rocky road, and their not out of the woods yet, but did you know this SA coalition of international justice is a Black and White affair? Rensberg is a White dude, an old school Dutchman by the looks of him. Cyril Ramaphosa, of course, is a Black man who I really think is doing his damnest to advance SA, Africa, and the whole world. (Remember, I said watch him??) Who would have thought – certainly not the “smart money” – that 2024’s SA would be leading the world in reigning in rogue terror states?! Yet, here we are. *tips hat*
