France Clarifies ICC Doesn't Block Netanyahu's Flight
France defended its decision to allow the plane of the occupation government's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through its airspace while en route to the United Nations, despite the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant against him. The French government confirmed that the authorization to fly was in accordance with international law, and that the Rome Statute does not impose obligations on states regarding the flight of aircraft if a person on board has an outstanding arrest warrant. France is among the signatory countries of the Rome Statute but is not legally obliged to comply with arrest warrants when traversing its airspace. This permitted Netanyahu's plane to fly over Greece, Italy, and France.
