Russia fails to capture Bakhmut and Ukraine prepares for a counteroffensive, while China’s proposed peace plan by Xi Jinping gathers dust and the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, is being pursued with an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court in The Hague for war crimes for the deportation of thousands of Ukrainian children. Journalist and correspondent Alberto Negri, guest of Piazzapulita, a presentation on La7 on Thursday March 23, explained the importance of this step: “The criterion is simple and the war in Yugoslavia tells us well. In 1996 peace was made with Milosevic, the same man who was arrested in 2002 and taken to The Hague prison where he will die.”
In short, the negotiation to end the conflict is always with the enemy. However, Negri added a very interesting detail: “In relation to war crimes, the International Criminal Court has been accepted by 123 states, while the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has been signed by 180 states (actually 196, the United States) but not signed ratified, ed.). This means that the person can be arrested under this convention even if the criminal court has not found a conviction. It’s certainly a political act.”
