On 12 February 2024 the Appeals Court in The Hague will pronounce its judgment in the (turbo)expediated appeal filed by Oxfam Novib, PAX and The Rights Forum against the verdict rendered by the preliminary relief judge of the District Court of The Hague on 15 December 2023. The case concerns the export by the Netherlands of F-35 fighter plane parts to Israel. In their appeal, Oxfam Novib et al demand that the Dutch State ends that export immediately, because Israeli F-35 fighter planes are contributing to (the threat of) genocide, and large-scale and grave violations of the laws of war in Gaza.
The hearing will be public.
Date: Monday 12 February 2024
Start: 10:00 o’clock (CET)
Court: Appeals Court of The Hague
Address: Prins Clauslaan 60 in The Hague (2595 AJ), the Netherlands
