Putin will be arrested as soon as he steps into 123 countries, but; What next after the warrant?; understand the meaning

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. This warrant has been issued regarding the ongoing war against Ukraine. According to this warrant, he will be arrested as soon as he steps into 123 countries of the world. Along with this, an arrest warrant has also been issued against Russia’s Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. Putin is accused of illegally taking Ukrainian children to Russia. Significantly, more than a year has passed since Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

there will be trouble in traveling

According to this warrant, if Vladimir Putin travels to any of the 123 countries, he will be arrested immediately. Karim Khan, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), gave this information. It is certain that Putin will have trouble traveling. Although the International Criminal Court does not have any police and it is dependent on the countries in this matter. By the way, no such case has come to the fore so far when a high profile person like Putin has been involved in the case and has been arrested.

never happened before

Earlier, Sudan’s leader Omar al-Bashir visited various countries that are members of the International Criminal Court. Interestingly, the same court had issued a warrant against him. So far Sudan has not handed them over. Columbia Law School Professor Matthew Waxman said that the International Criminal Court has taken this step very important. But the chances are slim that we will ever see Putin arrested.

what are the odds

The biggest thing is that like America and China, Russia is not a member of the International Criminal Court. The ICC has been able to register this case against Putin because Ukraine has accepted its juridiction in the present situation. Although Kiev is also not a member of the ICC. At the same time, Moscow has rejected this warrant. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not accept the juridiction of the ICC. In such a situation, this decision does not matter to him from a legal point of view.
