Gustavo Petro stated that the removal of dozens of Colombians linked to drug trafficking from the list of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) could be justified if those individuals had genuinely distanced themselves from drug trafficking, and he considered it a sovereign decision by the United States. On the other hand, he argued that the list had become an instrument to prevent Benjamin Netanyahu from being tried for genocide. He said that the United States had included on it eight of the 17 judges of the International Criminal Court, UN officials like Francesca Albanese, organizations defending the rights of Palestinians, and himself for denouncing the genocide in Gaza. He also noted that on August 18, 2026, Tomoko Akane, president of the ICC, was sanctioned, whom he described as a prominent Japanese jurist. Petro claimed that the list had lost global legitimacy and called on countries and their citizens not to comply with it. He urged the international human rights movement to launch a campaign to remove all affected individuals, including himself, and criticized aviation companies for hindering his free movement for defending the rights of the Palestinian people. Finally, he maintained that the list was used to persecute politically identified civil groups, something he characterized as a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute. He asserted that those participating in that persecution should be prosecuted before the ICC. #DerechosHumanos #Narcotráfico #Justicia (translated)

Questions that come in: Are pilots checked the same way in the filters? YES (the only difference is that we can carry liquids of more than 100 ml) If a pilot becomes unconscious in the cockpit, can the other one fly the plane?
