the full text of the ruling (PDF)
no ceasefire has been called for.
the court has concluded that there is plausible immediate risk of prejudicial (i.e. significantly harmful) outcome for Gazans if measures are not taken before it reaches its final conclusion, and is calling for immediate interim measures.
some of Israel's acts "fall within the scope" of article 2 of genocide convention (preventing births, denying food and fuel) & court is ruling that Israel must not do these things, must punish incitement of genocide, implement humanitarian aid, ensure preservation of evidence
Israel must submit report about all measures taken to meet these requirements within one month; to be then sent to South Africa for comment
these rulings "create international legal obligations" for Israel (and South Africa)
calling for immedate & unconditional release of all hostages taken by Hamas.
(votes as follows: 15 votes to 2 call for Israel to stop committing acts falling under articles 2 and 3 of genocide convention
16 votes to 1 call for Israel to take measures to prevent, and punish, incitements to genocide
16 votes to 1 call for Israel to take "immediate and effective measures" to improve life in Gaza re: resources
15 votes to 2 call for Israel to preserve evidence, and take measures against destruction of evidence, relating to acts falling under acts 2 and 3 of genocide convention
15 votes to 2 call for Israel to submit a report within 1 month)
