To be clear, South Africa didn't present any of their OWN evidence to the ICJ of Israeli genocide.

Rather, they carefully and methodically presented hundreds of reports made by OTHER UN agencies which reported on the genocidal behaviour.

This left the ICJ in a pickle: as a UN body itself, it had to either find for 'probably genocide' or publicly state that every other UN body was either in a grand conspiracy or was incompetent.

A very smart legal strategy.
