The ICC prosecutor stressed: “The law is not as strong as many of us would like, and not as weak as many think.”

International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan said that the execution of the arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin depends on the states, the fact of the arrests depends on the political situation. It was reported by Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday, October 9.

So, at a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in The Hague, Khan said that the implementation of the decision about Putin does not depend on him personally, but on the states.

According to him, the political situation is also often important for the implementation of operational decisions that lead to arrests.

According to the ICC prosecutor, people thought that arrest was impossible for some influential individuals for whom arrest warrants were issued.

“People think, ‘What kind of nonsense is this? There is a document, a piece of paper that you can tear up, that you can throw away. How can this somehow affect the army, the powerful man with the intelligence services, who, you know, there is a force with money The truth, no matter how important it is, these papers are considered strong because they are based on evidence and are signed by judges, independent judges of international courts? the courts are powerful people from within the judges,” said the ICC prosecutor.

Khan added that it was a very accurate assessment of his heartfelt belief: “The law is not as strong as many of us would like, and not as weak as many people think.”

He noted that this is confirmed by examples, the growing role of internationality in national courts and the needs of people not only in Ukraine, but around the world.

Khan previously said that the Rome Statute has a special procedure for dealing with cases where a state does not cooperate with the International Criminal Court.

Let’s recall that Putin’s visit to Mongolia on September 3 was the first visit to a state party to the Rome Statute of the ICC after the court issued a warrant for his arrest in March 2023.

Ukraine reacts to Putin’s visit to Mongolia. The Foreign Ministry said Kyiv will work with partners on the consequences for Ulaanbaatar.

And in Mongolia they explained that they did not arrest Putin because of energy dependence on Russia.
