On 3 February 2012, in the case of Germany v. Italy: Greece intervening,[5] the International Court of Justice ruled by a majority of 12 to 3 (12-3) that all attempts by domestic courts, forums and tribunals attempting to supranationally apply jus cogens relating to international humanitarian law are overridden by state immunity. The case affirms case law from earlier decisions.[which?] The decision was criticized by some commentators for not embracing a nascent movement to waive immunity in cases of human rights violations.
