Arab Quartet files ICJ lawsuit against Qatar over airspace dispute

Arab Quartet files ICJ lawsuit against Qatar over airspace dispute: The Arab Quartet filed yesterday a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice against Qatar over a dispute following the quartet’s decision to close their airspaces to Doha, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The four countries boycotting Qatar — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain — said the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which received two complaints from Qatar over the issue, is “not competent to consider that dispute,” the SPA reports. The ICJ began hearing a separate lawsuit Qatar filed against the UAE yesterday, the AP notes. Bloomberg also has the story.
