Nigeria has been identified as one of the countries standing the risk of facing war crimes probes for supplying crude oil and refined fuels to Israel amid the ongoing Gaza war.
The Guardian reported that legal experts warned that Nigeria and the other countries, which are signatories to the Genocide Convention and Geneva Conventions, are contravening the 26 January landmark ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
The ruling ordered Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza and reminded state parties to the genocide convention of their “common interest to ensure the prevention, suppression and punishment of genocide”.
