An international arrest warrant has been pending against Russian President Vladimir Putin since Friday, March 17. Among the judges of International Criminal Court who issued it, there is also an Italian one. 123 countries have joined it Statute of Rome, which recognize the International Court of Justice and thus its decisions. Not included are the United States, China, India and Israel, among others. The Russian Federation, which withdrew its signature, is no longer either 2016. Now, the ICC does not have an automated system to carry out its mandate, so it relies on member states. In 2016, however, the then South African President did zoom refused to fulfill obligations when the President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir He visited his country and recognized his immunity as head of state. The same that Putin might invoke during his next scheduled visit to a signatory state to the Rome Statute. Again it could just be that South Africanow chaired by Cyril Ramaphosa, must decide whether to comply with the International Criminal Court’s decision. The meeting, the 15th meeting of leaders bricksis planned for this August a Durban, city on the east coast of the African state. However, the executive is still cautious on this point, probably surprised by what has happened in the last few hours. “As a government,” said a spokesman, “we are aware of our legal obligation. However, we will remain in contact with various stakeholders until the summit.”
