International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola has called on all global stakeholders committed to upholding international law and the UN Charter to come together in defence of the rule of law.
He warns that the system of international law established after the Second World War is under severe threat, citing Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
Lamola was briefing the portfolio committee on South Africas Israel case at the International Court of Justice and giving an update on progress to host the G20 Summit in November.
