Many of us will see it the other way around. Countries inclined to pursue criminal procedings against pilots should learn more about international civil aviation law and practice.
Barit,
Let us let "countries" out of this topic.
I am one of those who are against the criminal proceeding against the pilots. However I cannot tolerate this "Brazil bashing" talk. This is pure prejudice and nothing else. Kind of "dick measurement contest".
If pilots are unhappy with the behaviour of the Brazilian Judiciary, WHICH IS AN INDEPENDENT BRANCH, so please direct the complaints against the right person: The Judge and the Federal Prosecutor in charge. This is the only reason why I am intervening here.
If a foreigner told you that any Judiciary absurd that happened in the United States was a proof of Americans not knowing anything about this or that international law how would you react ?
