RI still pushing Israel to international court

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian government is still trying to push Israel to responsibility of its attack on the humanitarian flotilla in international waters who was about to enter the Gaza Strip on May (31/5), a minister said.

"We demand for an impartial, transparent and neutral investigation according to the United Nations Security Council (UN SC) decision to ask for Israeli accountability," Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said here Friday.

There are several types of accountability that Israel would face, such as political responsibility if the matter is taken to the UN SC and international law sanction if it was done in an International Court of Justice (ICJ) trial, he said.

Certain case can only be proposed to the ICJ if it was approved by the relevant parties, whether Israel agreed to take the matter in international court or not, the minister said.

"As a matter of fact, Israel seems unwilling in taking the case to the international court, they seem to take the political responsibility through the UN SC," Minister Marty said.

The minister also said that the UN SC had called for an investigation which is still ongoing right now.

Due to the humanitarian aid which are now flowing into the Gaza Strip, it is the Egyptian policy that only allows aid goods or the humanitarian figure entering the Gaza Strip.

"It`s whether the goods or the worker enters the area, and it is not our decision to take, but the Egyptian government," Marty said. (*)
