Al Jazeera reports this.
Lula now has a different answer to the question of whether Vladimir Putin will be arrested if he attends the next G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
This will depend on the judiciary, not the government, the publication quotes the Brazilian president.
We’ll see what happens before November 2024, when the G20 summit takes place in Brazil. Hopefully by then there will be war [в Україні] will end and everything will return to normal, the president added.
Lula also questioned Brazil’s membership of the UN war crimes court because “developing countries often sign on to things that harm them.”
I want to know why we are members, but not the United States, not Russia, not India, not China. I’m not saying that we will leave the court. “I just want to know why Brazil is a signatory,” Lula said.
Back on Sunday, September 10, Lulu said that Brazilian President Lula da Silva said that Putin would not be arrested if he came to the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in 2024.
I believe that Putin can easily go to Brazil. I can tell you that if I am the President of Brazil and he comes to Brazil, he will under no circumstances be arrested,” Lula said then.
Let us recall that Brazil signed the Rome Statute. In March, the head of the country’s Foreign Ministry even said that the Russian president risks being arrested if he comes to Brazil.
On March 17, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. He is suspected of illegally deporting children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia.
In July, it became known that Putin would not go to South Africa for the BRICS summit and would take part in the event via video link. The authorities of the Republic of South Africa themselves asked Russia about this, since South Africa ratified the Statute of Rome on the establishment of the ISS.
