    Not even international law, but their own civil laws.

    Speaking for germany I'm unsure as to what you're getting at here on a judicial level. Any arms sale has to be approved by the parliament, as such I don't see much hope for a civil law suit here.

      Wouldn't Germany selling weapons be in direct violation of this

      https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/krwaffkontrg/__6.html

      Admittedly I'm using Google translate and my very limited knowledge of German here, but wouldn't Germany continuing to sell weapons to Israel be in violation of points 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2?

      2.1

      Approval may be refused in particular if... There is reason to believe that granting it would run counter to the Federal Republic's interest in maintaining good relations with other countries.

      3.1

      Approval is to be refused if...There is a risk that the weapons of war will be used in an act that disturbs the peace, especially in a war of aggression.

      3.1 This is really interesting because it uses the word risk and not confirmed. Thus even the preliminary ruling of the ICJ should be enough to constitute risk here.

        Doesn't matter, judiically. The german parliament approves it, therefore it's fine.
