So, Putin's arrest warrant will prevent him from travel

[mysteryowl]

It occurred to me that he will now be banned from international summits.
This is a very good consequence for Putin personally.

[Lovie777]

1. He'll be able to travel in countries that do not honor the ICC........

[mysteryowl]

2. Do you know if they are ones that hold international summits?

[mysteryowl]

3. I found an article listing the summit countries

https://www.cfr.org/councilofcouncils/global-memos/global-summits-2023-test-rise-rest

120 countries are part of the ICC. The ones that aren't:
USA
African states
Philippines


This is from my short research on it.

23. thanks

[malaise]

24. You mean like the US? N/T

[yaesu]

6. He couldn't use the airspace of countries enforcing the warrant

Could be forced down.

15. Nobody is going to force down the head of state of a nuclear power

One of the perks of being part of the nuclear club is your country and leadership don't get the same treatment as everyone else. Pretty much every decision involving members of that club come with the added thought of would they push the button over this.

17. The Mexican cartel recently gave up wanted fugitives. A trend?

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

20. Doubt it. Why should we trust the cartel handed over the right people?

It's much more likely they handed over people they wanted to get rid of, rivals, or other non involved. I'd trust them about as much as I would trust trump at this point.

4. I doubt it

Countries may elect not to invite him as part of a sanctions regime… but he is unlikely to be arrested if he is otherwise part of an official event. Foreign heads of state are rarely subject to arrest.

It could cause him trouble later on down the line of Russia ever changes leadership.

[mysteryowl]

5. Curious, so I wonder who would do the arresting?

[paleotn]

11. Many won't invite him to avoid a scene but I wouldn't be too sure he's immune from arrest everywhere

even in a diplomatic role.

[Jarqui]

7. You mean he won't be able to attend Trump's criminal trials?

What a shame!

[erronis]

10. The USofA is not part of the ICC. Putin would be welcome to come here to watch trump's prosecution

I would think that he might want to skip that trip for many other reasons, however.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court

The United States is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute),[1] which founded the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002 as a permanent international criminal court to "bring to justice the perpetrators of the worst crimes known to humankind – war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide", when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so.[2]

As of January 2019, 123 states are members of the Court.[3] Other states that have not become parties to the Rome Statute include India, Indonesia, and China.[3] On May 6, 2002, the United States, in a position shared with Israel and Sudan, having previously signed the Rome Statute formally withdrew its signature and indicated that it did not intend to ratify the agreement.[3]

25. Fwiw, we often deny entry to criminal heads of state and ex-es.

Whether we (under a Democratic president) would allow a visit and protect him from apprehension would no doubt be a situational decision. The principle's clear, though, and we approve the war crimes charges.

8. Wow, two arrest warrants in a row against the two biggest crims on earth.

This is going to be an *interesting* week.

9. No more G anything for Putiy

[mucifer]

12. Perfect timing right before his meeting with xi. Makes him look weaker.

[Traildogbob]

13. Putin arrest warrants

And trump indictments. Birds of a feather. We could make the Whole Damn World Great Again in one sweep, to eliminate both of them.

[Marcuse]

14. Perhaps they will coordinate their legal defenses. There is a common nexus of operative facts.

[Traildogbob]

16. Right

Tacopenis can represent them. Both are in the Mob Union. Why not hire lawyers from the union?

[Igel]

18. Not really.

He'll be at risk if he's in a free country, but even then the government can grant a kind of temporary amnesty and just say that because he's invited and a representative they will not enforce the arrest warrant.

That's happened quite a bit (but IIRC at one point a group managed to nab a wanted person outside of channels).

19. The Russian Federation will head the UN Security Council in April.

21. Doesn't prevent travel to many countries...

He can travel to any allies and other nations that wouldn't enforce the ICC.

[Carlitos Brigante]

22. As long as he travels with Steven Seagal, he's got nothing to worry about. Pretty much

makes him "Above the Law". He'd be very "Hard to Kill" even if he's "Under Siege". Those opposed to Mr Putin are already "Marked for Death", even if they think they're "Out for Justice" In any case, whoever made that "Executive Decision" is already considered "Half Past Dead".
