July 2020. Qatar welcomed a decision by the UN’s top court Tuesday to back it in a dispute with Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over an air blockade against Doha. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected an appeal by the four countries against the jurisdiction of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) over the dispute. The court also ruled that the case was admissible and the air blockade violated the International Civil Aviation Convention.”The ICJ’s decision was a great victory for Qatar and a slap against the blockading states,” Ahmed Bin Saeed Bin Jabor Al-Rumaihi, director of the Information Office of Qatar’s Foreign Ministry, told Anadolu Agency. “The decision reflects the consistency in our position towards the blockading countries’ belittling international laws,” Al-Rumaihi added.
