In your opinion, which international entity do you regard as the final authority for the formal recognition of this legal fact?

"...is an ongoing case..."

Exactly

So you would believe an authority of the UN. Considering the US has imposed sanctions on UN employees, do you see any conflict of interest there?

In this specific case it is something interesting to follow and to analyze. This will definitely have consequences on Russian-Ukrainian war too. UN overall is powerless - there are 7000+ UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon right now. What are they doing there?

I don't understand your point. You contested a fact "legally", but in your opinion the only authority that should have the final "legal" say in the matter is an impartial and weak one.

That's the best we have and it is better than random internet commenters who make judgement like they have a solid evidence of what's going on. Lastly depending on outcome this can be used for more fruitful discussions in the future.

It is not the best we have at all, and the choice is not between random internet commenters and the ICJ. You have the International Association of Genocide Scholars and a plethora of human rights associations.

You are choosing who to listen to because you don't like what you are being told by everyone else.
