International Criminal Court Act, the CAA and the Munitions Flights

It is clear that

a) The munitions being flown to Israel are being used against civilian targets and in contravention of Article 8.2 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court.

b) Actions ancilliary to such war crimes are in contravention of Section 52 of the UK International Criminal Court Act 2001.

c) Allowing flights to pass through UK airspace is arguably part of (as in ancillary to) such acts.

I have made this point to the Civil Aviation Authority. It does appear from a reading of the statutes that anyone assisting those flights is subject to prosecution under the 2001 Act.

Excellent, thanks. But the invisibility of LibDem ministers in the Scottish Executive concerns me.

There's also a story filtering through this evening (I don't necessarily believe everything on IndyMedia though) that aircraft apparently with Hebrew markings on it has called in at Brize Norton today.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
