A British lawyer will defend Israel at the International Court of Justice in the Hague next week against South Africa’s accusation that the Jewish state is perpetrating genocide against the Palestinians in its ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza.
Professor Malcolm Shaw KC, who will present Israel’s defense against the charges next week, is a leading expert on territorial disputes and a published author on the law of genocide.
They’ll probably need that…
The South Africans also have two British KCs on their team: Vaughan Lowe KC and Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC
Shaw wrote the book on International law and genocide- literally and has argued at the Hague many times.
