ICC issue arrest warrant for Putin over war crime allegations

Quote

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The court alleges he is responsible for war crimes, including the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia.

It says the crimes were committed in Ukraine from 24 February 2022 - when Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Moscow has denied allegations of war crimes during the invasion.

It was the first time the global court has issued a warrant against a leader of one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

Good luck on getting ahold of him though.

Maybe send in Dog the Bountyhunter?

Its practical implications, however, could be limited as the chances of Putin facing trial at the ICC are highly unlikely because Moscow does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction or extradite its nationals.

Joe Biden has welcomed the international criminal court’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for the Russian president for war crimes in Ukraine.

The US president said Vladimir Putin had clearly committed war crimes and that the arrest warrant for the Russian leader made a “very strong point”.

“Well, I think it’s justified,” Biden said of the warrant on Friday. “But the question is – [the ICC is] not recognised internationally by us either. But I think it makes a very strong point.”

The US is not a member of the court and the Pentagon has resisted cooperating with it because of fears American soldiers could be pursued by the court.

It's only justified as long as the ICC doesn't open a case about Afghanistan or start looking into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Never a good idea to trade insults and personal threats with the second most powerful man on the planet

I thought that was Xi now. Putin would be third. 

Especially with the mockery his military has become.

I'd say bringing Maria Lvova-Belova to the court is more feasible. That b**** may travel to the country without checking first...

Heads of State have diplomatic immunity and America and 30 other countries haven’t signed the treaty. So technically if Trump got re-elected Putin could visit him in the White House

I know. The States would never sign the treaty. Dick Cheney and Bush Jr. would be a war criminals.

I read today an interesting take on this arrest warrant. It’s a message to Russia and Putin, that we will not meet or discuss any negotiation about Ukraine’s partition with you because you are a war criminal, Putin. But maybe with a more reasonable successor.
