International Criminal Court issues warrant for Putin's arrest; Moscow dismisses order as 'void'

Описание: On Friday, the international criminal court announced an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. The warrant against the Russian President is based on the war crime accusation of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children. The Hague-based court said it had also issued a warrant against Maria Vovabilova, Russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights. According to Kyiv, over 16,000 children have been deported to Russia. The International Criminal Court said judges found there were reasonable grounds to suspect Putin's criminal responsibility.

The President of the International Criminal Court said the execution of the warrants depends on international cooperation. The arrest warrant for Putin, a sitting head of state of a permanent member of U.N. security council, is an unprecedented step for the Hague-based court. Set up in 2002, the international criminal court is a court of last resort for the world's worst crimes; when countries can not, or will not prosecute suspects.
