This market will resolve to "Yes" if he International Criminal Court ("ICC"), the International Court of Justice ("ICJ"), or any ad hoc international tribunal with recognized legal standing, issues a judgment or conviction finding that either the State of Israel or any current or former Israeli official committed genocide or acts of genocide by December 31, 2027 at 11:59PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". For the judgment of an ad hoc tribunal to be relevant for purposes of this market, the tribunal must be established by the United Nations or any body thereof. A first-instance conviction or judgment shall qualify for "Yes" resolution even if it remains subject to appeal or has not yet been affirmed on appeal. Preliminary or provisional findings that are not judgments on the merits will not qualify for purposes of this market. The resolution source will be official statements from the ICC, the ICJ, or a qualifying ad hoc tribunal; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used. The ICJ case brought by South Africa against Israel under the Genocide Convention remains in its written pleadings phase, with Israel filing its counter-memorial in March 2026 and the court fixing South Africa’s reply deadline for November 2027 followed by Israel’s rejoinder in May 2029. Multiple states have filed intervention declarations, yet no hearing on the merits has occurred and analysts expect any final ruling well after 2027. The ICC issued arrest warrants in late 2024 for Israeli officials on war crimes and crimes against humanity charges but has not pursued genocide counts, and neither Israel nor the United States recognizes the court’s jurisdiction. These extended procedural timelines and jurisdictional limits underpin traders’ strong consensus against a genocide finding by the market’s cutoff.
