The International Court of Justice’s 16-judge panel ruled that appeals filed by Qatar’s neighbours against several decisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization should be dismissed

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed political, trade and transport ties with Qatar in June 2017, accusing Qatar of backing Islamist radicals and Iran. Doha denies the charges and says the embargo aims to undermine its sovereignty. Qatar objected to the closing of the airspace in a complaint to the ICAO, and that case continues. Qatar has limited airspace and has had to rely on that of Iran.
The UAE issued a statement vowing to fight on at the ICAO, saying it “will now put its legal case to ICAO supporting the right to close its airspace to Qatari aircraft.”
