Italy, France, and Greece are accused of violating international law by allowing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to fly over their territory. Francesca Albanese, a UN rapporteur, asserts these countries are obligated under the Rome Statute to arrest Netanyahu, who faces war crimes charges. The signatories’ actions, providing safe passage, suggest a disregard for their international legal commitments. Albanese warns that failing to uphold international obligations undermines the legal order and endangers citizens. Netanyahu's travel coincides with discussions of ongoing conflict and ceasefire negotiations with Hamas amidst a backdrop of pending legal accountability.
Albanese stated that the governments of Italy, France, and Greece must explain their decision to allow Netanyahu a safe passage, potentially breaching international law.
Countries violating international obligations compromise the safety and integrity of their citizens, as every political action that disregards the international legal order poses risks.
Albanese emphasized that allowing an internationally wanted suspect, like Netanyahu, to fly over their airspace raises serious legal concerns and obligations.
The legal frameworks established by treaties like the Rome Statute aim to hold individuals accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
