The Rome Statute provides that, under certain circumstances, states may be exempted from the obligation to arrest.
Mongolia, as a signatory to the Rome Statute, is obligated to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), but may be exempt from the obligation to arrest Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The representative of the Court, Fadi el-Abdallah, spoke about this in a commentary on the BBC.
“State parties to the court, especially Mongolia, are obliged to cooperate, according to Chapter IX of the Rome Statute, the treaty by which the International Criminal Court was created,” he said.
However, the treaty provides that, under certain circumstances, states may be released from the obligation to arrest.
In particular, if they are forced to “violate treaty obligations with another state” or if it “contradicts the diplomatic immunity of the person or property of a third state.”
According to El-Abdallah, in the case of refusal to cooperate, the judges of the ISS can make an appropriate conclusion and report it to the Assembly of States Parties. The Assembly may take any action it deems necessary.
We remind you that the Kremlin said that they are “not worried” about Putin’s visit to Mongolia. According to media reports, Putin received assurances ahead of a planned visit to Mongolia that he would not be arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant.
The Foreign Ministry called for the execution of an arrest warrant for Putin
