Uganda Says Judge’s Disagreement With World Court Ruling on Israel Does Not Reflect Its Position

Uganda has said that the opinion of one judge, Julia Sebutinde on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) disagreeing with the panel’s decision in South Africa’s genocide lawsuit against Israel, does not represent Uganda’s perspective.

Sebutinde was the only judge on the 17-member ICJ panel to vote against all six measures adopted by the court in a ruling ordering Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide as it fights Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
