In a recent interview with The New Humanitarian peace portal, Tom Dannenbaum, an associate professor of international law, answers about Israel's actions in Gaza and the responses from international institutions like the International Court of Justice (ICJ). He discusses the ICJ's order for Israel to increase humanitarian aid and basic services in Gaza and the allegations of genocide brought by South Africa. 

Dannenbaum argues that while the ICJ found some allegations of genocide to be plausible, Israel needs to effectively comply with the court's orders. He highlights obstacles hindering humanitarian assistance, such as military operations and funding cuts to aid agencies. 

Dannenbaum also argues about the need for international pressure to enforce the ICJ's orders and discusses the role and effectiveness of the ICJ in preventing atrocities. He acknowledges the challenges posed by political factors, such as US veto power in the UN Security Council. Dannenbaum also addresses the broader context of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and the increasing use of the ICJ for accountability purposes. 

In general, Dannenbaum's analysis underscores the complexities of international law and the urgent humanitarian situation in Gaza while also highlighting the need for accountability and enforcement mechanisms in addressing such crises.
