ICC Warrants for Putin, Russians Unaffected by Peace Deal

International Criminal Court arrest warrants for President Vladimir Putin and five other Russians will remain in effect, even if a broad amnesty is part of a peace deal. The warrants accuse them of war crimes in Ukraine, with Putin specifically facing allegations of illegally deporting hundreds of Ukrainian children. Only a United Nations Security Council resolution could suspend these court-issued warrants, meaning any political agreement for peace would not automatically cancel the legal actions taken by the court. Russia denies the ICCs authority and has rejected all accusations of war crimes. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
