By Belize Live News Staff: Belize has joined a nine-nation coalition forming The Hague Group, a legal alliance working to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza. The coalition, which includes South Africa, Chile, and Malaysia, aims to protect the integrity of international law amid mounting US pressure on the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Hague Group’s initiative follows Belize’s decision to sever diplomatic ties with Israel, aligning with several Global South nations that oppose Israel’s military actions in Palestine. The coalition will focus on legal and diplomatic measures, particularly at the ICC and ICJ, where Israel faces allegations of genocide and war crimes.
South Africa’s case against Israel at the ICJ has set a precedent, and The Hague Group is expected to reinforce these legal efforts. Belize’s involvement signals its commitment to international justice, standing alongside nations demanding accountability for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The group will meet in The Hague this week to strategize on legal challenges, economic measures, and potential sanctions.
