Germany: weapon shipments to Israel comply with rules

Observador7 September 2026 at 23:46

Germany defended itself before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against the accusations presented by Nicaragua regarding arms exports to Israel. The German government argued that these exports fully comply with international law.

In its statement to the court, Germany rejected Nicaragua's accusations, asserting that the procedures adopted in arms exports comply with all applicable international rules.

Nicaragua had filed a complaint against Germany, alleging that the country was violating international law by continuing to supply arms to Israel in the context of the conflict in Gaza.

The case is being heard at the ICJ, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, which may issue an advisory opinion on the matter, although without binding force.
