Open Letter to the Irish Government

I am writing to you as concerned Irish citizen who is deeply disturbed by the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza by the Israeli government. I urge you to take immediate action to fulfil your legal obligation .
under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which Ireland ratified in 1976.
As you may be aware, South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of violating the convention by committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa has requested the court to order Israel to cease its unlawful acts, to pay reparations to the victims, and to ensure accountability for the perpetrators. South Africa has also invited other states parties to the convention to join the case as co-applicants or interveners.
