The International Criminal Court, also known as the International Criminal Court, on Friday issued two arrest warrants against Russian citizens for alleged crimes committed during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

One of these orders is directed against the Russian president, who, according to the Court, is individually criminally responsible for the deportation and illegal transfer of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine. Under the Rome Statute, you can also be punished for committing another’s crime or for your conduct. As well as for not exercising adequate control over the civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts.

Another arrest warrant was also issued for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.

The Court is an international tribunal that adjudicates four crimes affecting the community, such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression.

This court of last instance was born out of the Rome Statute of 1998 and the countries have signed it. Court cases begin with a preliminary investigation and then progress to an investigative phase where the suspect is determined and an arrest warrant or subpoena is issued.

Once you are in front of the judges there is a confirmation of the hearing, then the judges give a verdict and when there is a guilty verdict they give a verdict. The verdict can be appealed by both the public prosecutor and the defense.

Finally, the sentences are fulfilled in the country that determines it.

“States parties support the Court, accept the jurisdiction of the ICC and are also working to incorporate the rules of the Rome Statute into their own legal systems. Thus, each country that becomes a party moves the world closer to universal ICC protection under the system of the Rome Statute.

Russia is one of the countries that has not ratified the Rome Statute, and neither has the United States, so it is not required to comply with its provisions.

“The decisions of the International Criminal Court are meaningless for our country, even from a legal point of view,” Russian diplomacy spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
