Havana, Jun 27 (ACN) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez rejected on Thursday an arrest warrant issued in France and with binding enforcement in the European Union against Syria’s President Bashar al-Asad.
On his X account, Minister Rodriguez said that the decision disregards Al-Assad’s immunity as head of state, it violates the standards of International Law and sets a dangerous precedent for the current international system.
According to international media outlets, A French appeals court on Wednesday upheld an international arrest warrant for Syrian President Bashar Assad, confirming its validity despite his position as a head of state. The warrant stems from allegations of war crimes during Syria’s civil war.
French courts issued arrests warrants in November against al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad—commander of the 4th Armored Division--, and two Syrian generals—Ghassan Abbas and Bassam al-Hassan, accusing them of complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity, and their participation in a chemical attack in 2013 against Damasco suburbs home to opposition members.
