Politicians in the world believe that the president of Russia can be brought to trial not only because of the war in Ukraine, but also for the schemes of corruption.
The ten -year -old idea reappeared, due to the war in Ukraine. 42 ex-prime ministers and presidents from around the world and more than 250 high-ranking officials from 75 countries who signed the declaration establishing the court have expressed their dissatisfaction with the financial sources of the military conflict. This was reported by The Washington Post.
For example, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote for the London Times that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be tried not only for the war in Ukraine, but also for “three decades of deception and corruption. “
As former Slovenian President Danilo Türk said, corruption on a large scale – the abuse of power for the personal benefit of the country’s leaders – “is global in scope and cannot be addressed by the affected countries alone. “
Among those who signed the “judicial” declaration, according to non-profit organizations Integrity Initiatives International and Club de Madrid, were former leaders of Argentina, Great Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and other countries.
The current governments of Canada and the Netherlands have even made the creation of the court part of their official foreign policy, promoting its development as an important international issue.
At the same time, none of the former U.S. presidents signed the declaration, although it was first proposed by U.S. District Judge Mark L. Wolf, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, who founded Integrity Initiatives International.
Recall, former British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss urged allies to remain determined in supporting Ukraine and not try to silence Russian President Vladimir Putin.
