Complaint
A listener complaint that a pro-Palestinian student protester had not been corrected when she said the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had ruled that Israel was committing 鈥減lausible genocide鈥 in Gaza.聽 The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 editorial standards of accuracy.
Outcome
The ECU agreed the student鈥檚 statement reflected a widespread misunderstanding of the relevant ICJ ruling, and was inaccurate.聽 However, the interviewer had already put it to her that 鈥淭he claim that there鈥檚 a genocide of the Palestinian people would, as you know, be vigorously disputed by many people of several faiths and of no faith鈥, so listeners would have been well aware that the claim of genocide was controversial
Not upheld
