Aidas Ziliukas. Poland to Arrest Netanyahu if He Comes to Auschwitz 80th Anniversary

"Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski told the Rzeczpospolita newspaper that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu comes to Poland, he will be arrested in accordance with the country's obligations to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

 

Bartoszewski made the comments while speaking to the Polish economic and legal newspaper Rzeczpospolita about preparations for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, which will be commemorated on January 27 this year.

 

The ICC issued arrest warrants for former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Netanyahu in November, in response to accusations of crimes against humanity and war crimes during the Gaza conflict.

 

The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for the Islamist group Hamas The head of the military wing, Mohammed Deif, was killed in an airstrike in July, Israel says.

 

States that are party to the Rome Statute are legally obligated to execute ICC arrest warrants. All 27 European Union states are party to the Rome Statute and are legally obligated to execute arrest warrants. So far, only Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that Netanyahu will not be arrested if he visits Hungary.

 

Lithuania has also said it will arrest individuals with ICC arrest warrants if they enter the country.

 

It is currently planned that Education Minister Yoav Kisch will represent Israel at the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz."

Aidas Žiliukas. Lenkija areštuos B. Netanyahu, jei jis atvyks į Aušvico 80–ąsias metines

 

"Lenkijos užsienio reikalų ministro pavaduotojas Wladyslawas Bartoszewskis laikraščiui „Rzeczpospolita“ pareiškė, kad jei Izraelio Ministras Pirmininkas Benjaminas Netanyahu atvyks į Lenkiją, jis bus suimtas pagal šalies įsipareigojimus Tarptautiniam baudžiamajam teismui (TBT).

Šiuos komentarus W. Bartoszewskis išsakė kalbėdamas su Lenkijos ekonomikos ir teisės laikraščiu „Rzeczpospolita“ apie pasirengimą Aušvico išvadavimo 80–osioms metinėms, kurios bus minimos šių metų sausio 27 d.

TBT arešto orderius buvusiam Izraelio gynybos ministrui Yoavu Gallantu ir B. Netanyahu išdavė lapkritį, reaguodamas į kaltinimus nusikaltimais žmoniškumui ir karo nusikaltimais per konfliktą Gazos Ruože.

Taip pat TBT išdavė arešto orderį islamistų grupuotės „Hamas“ karinio sparno vadovui Mohammedui Deifui, tačiau jis, kaip teigia Izraelis, žuvo per liepą surengtą antskrydį.

Romos statutą pasirašiusios valstybės teisiškai privalo vykdyti TBT arešto orderius. Visos 27 Europos Sąjungos valstybės priklauso Romos statutui ir teisiškai privalo vykdyti arešto orderius. Kol kas tik Vengrijos premjeras Viktoras Orbanas yra pareiškęs, kad B. Netanyahu nebus suimtas, jei atvyks į Vengriją.

Lietuva taip pat yra pareiškusi, kad areštuotų asmenis, kuriems yra išduotas TBT arešto orderis, jei tokie atvyktų į šalį.

Kol kas planuojama, kad Aušvico išvadavimo 80–ųjų metinių minėjime Izraelį atstovaus Švietimo ministras Yoavas Kischas."

"The best America's Cup sailing team of all time"

 "The "Kiwis" defy tricky conditions and win the America's Cup for the third time in a row. For the British, a long wait continues.

 

The Emirates Team New Zealand has won the traditional America's Cup for the third time in a row. The sailing crew led by skipper Peter Burling secured the decisive 7:2 victory in the battle for the oldest sports trophy in the world on Saturday and thus won the duel with challenger team Ineos Britannia off Barcelona.

 

The showdown of the 37th edition for the legendary silver mug, "The Auld Mug", began last weekend. The New Zealanders quickly pulled away with four wins. The British team led by four-time Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie gained new hope during the week with two wins.

 

"It's a fantastic feeling"

 

But Burling managed to come up with the perfect answer after a race-free Thursday before he and his Team now managed to make everything clear in tricky conditions. "It's a fantastic feeling," said Burling immediately after the race: "It was an incredible fight. I'm very proud of the whole team."

 

For the British, the hope of a historic first overall success in the 173-year history of the Cup was dashed again. The team from the United Kingdom had prevailed in the challenger regattas against competition from Italy, the USA, France and Switzerland.

 

"We congratulate the better team. For me they are the best America's Cup team of all time," said the defeated Sir Ben Ainslie. The British challengers must console themselves with the fact that they had come further than ever in their third attempt under Ainslie's leadership and were in a Cup match for the first time.

 

The America's Cup dates back to 1851, when great prestige was first sailed off the British Isle of Wight.

 

The teams now float over the water in high-tech yachts and reach sailing speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour.

 

Only the Swiss team Alinghi, with the German sailing icon Jochen Schümann, managed to bring the famous trophy to Europe in 2003 and 2007." [1]
