The United Nations’ top court has struck down a demand by Nicaragua that Germany immediately halt its military aid to Israel on Tuesday, saying it cannot issue emergency measures against Berlin over its arms exports.

“The court, by 15 votes to 1, finds that the circumstances as they present themselves to the court are not such as to require the exercise of its power under article 41 of the statute to indicate provisional measures,” Judge Nawaf Salam, president of the International Court of Justice , said at The Hague in the Netherlands on Tuesday. The case against Germany was brought by Nicaragua.

Germany suspended the funding in January amid allegations that 12 of the UN agency’s employees were involved in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. It has since reinstated it. Israel was not a party to the case, but the ruling on Tuesday comes as the ICJ is hearing a separate case brought against Israel by South Africa.
