Arab Countries Will Reject Syrian Arrest Warrants Against Lebanese Figures

November 9, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Ali Kouman, the secretary general of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers:

Our Arab group, just like the international Interpol, cannot accept such kind of warrants. [Measures are taken] to reject them and prevent their circulation, especially that they represent a precedent in the inter-Arab police relations and contradict the principles of sovereignty, positive laws and by-laws of the Arab and international Interpol.

Perhaps they should have adjoined the threat that they’ll issue their own warrants against Syrian figures if they did that again..
