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 extended ICJ schedule in South Africa v. Israel places any final merits judgment on genocide well beyond 2027, with South Africa’s reply due November 2027 and Israel’s rejoinder not until May 2029. Recent South African submissions on provisional-measures compliance, filed in late August 2026, address implementation monitoring rather than advancing the substantive case. At the ICC, arrest warrants issued in November 2024 for Israeli officials cover war crimes and crimes against humanity but have not progressed to confirmed genocide charges or trials, amid ongoing procedural delays and institutional developments. International courts apply a high evidentiary threshold for genocide findings, requiring proof of specific intent, and neither forum has reached a stage where such a determination by late 2027 appears feasible to traders.
