The plane carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Florida for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump passed through the airspace of three countries that are parties to the International Criminal Court, despite an active ICC arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.

Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 showed Netanyahu’s aircraft, known as “Wings of Zion,” crossed the airspace of Greece, Italy and France before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

All three countries are signatories to the Rome Statute, which obliges member states to cooperate with ICC arrest warrants.

Yes you can tell them you will arrest them if they fly over. And you should start a war.

Not sure what the point of joining the ICU if you don't want to hold the laws.

Start a war? Part of the point of joining international organizations is to stop war from reoccurring so for you to casually suggest starting a war is to come from a completely unserious position.

You're part of an international organisation. The other country is not part of that organisation. The countries in your international organisation would come to defend you.

Also France is no "small country"

Until the leaders of countries, and all those seeking that same power fear to misuse that power, war will be a natural state of our species.

Sure, you might have to start a small war or two, but eventually people will get the point that their leaders need to be held accountable by the people of those countries, or other countries will hold them to account.

Without any of that, we end up exactly right where we are, where leaders and countries can get away with genocide, completely invalidating any power those global institutions are supposed to wield.

The war would be started by whoever illegally retaliated for a lawful arrest, not by whoever did the arresting.

How do you arrest one person on a plane flying through the air?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You intercept with fighter jets and give them one last chance to land. That's not my opinion, that's literally how it works.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And if they don't...? It's a nice idea, but do you think they're going to shoot down a plane with other people on it and everything will just be fine?

I don't think anyone being above the law is just fine either.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My point was I don't think there would be any real consequences if they didn't land and obviously shooting them down would cause a lot more problems. For the record, I dont think either are ok, I just think that's the reality of the situation.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

That's not obvious to me. Not enforcing the law is allowing a lot of innocent people to die.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You point missiles at em and shoot if needed

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

These people just pretend it's not possible but will cry if it is Putin instead.
