On November 6, 2014, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a report determining that there will be no investigation against Israel regarding the Mavi Marmara incident, which took place in late May 2010. This decision came at the end of a preliminary examination carried out in response to a complaint submitted in May 2013 by the Union of the Comoros, where the Mavi Marmara was registered and whose flag it was flying at the time of the incident. The complaint, which asked that a criminal investigation be opened against IDF soldiers for perpetrating war crimes and crimes against humanity against the flotilla ships and their passengers, was actually submitted by a Turkish law firm. Unlike Israel and Turkey, the Comoros is a party to the Statute of the Court.
