International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor General Karim Khan has been placed on Russia’s “most wanted list”, according to the Russian Interior Ministry, two months after the ICC issued an arrest warrant against him. Vladimir Putin.
“Date of birth: March 30, 1970. Place of birth: Edinburgh, Scotland […] Wanted under an article of the penal code,” reads a notice issued by the Russian Interior Ministry, without specifying the nature of the crime.
Speaking to TSFthe specialist in International Politics Germano Almeida points out that this is an episode that “shows how we are in a world of investment”, but that “it turns out”.
The commentator of Program “State of the Site” points out that there are “many people who, being concerned about this war, but not fully aware of it, set up false equations”, in the case that “yes, the ICC sent an arrest warrant against Putin, but Russia did that to him to the prosecutor”. -General of the ICC”.
“It is somewhat reminiscent of February 21 of last year, the pre-war anniversary. On the same day, Putin gives a long speech in Moscow, completely delirious and turning everything on its head, and President Biden gives a speech in Warsaw that you can disagree with or agree with on some things, but that essentially goes to the end. right point,” and that sparked a conversation about a “mirror position, where one said one thing and the other said the opposite.
Germano Almeida points out that although this is “true”, the messages were transmitted “at different levels of seriousness, so to speak, and in this very diffused world, at the level of communication, it is very important to keep the focus on what really is happening, and what is happening is an asymmetric war of aggression in which one country wanted to invade another for no reason.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin is charged by the ICC, based in The Hague, Netherlands, with war crimes for the “illegal deportation” of thousands of Ukrainian children during the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
The accusations are rejected by Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky then called the ICC decision “historic”, while US President Joe Biden called it “justified”.
However, Moscow deemed it “null and void” because Russia is not a member of the ICC and therefore does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction, according to the Kremlin.
A few days after the announcement, in mid-March, of the order issued by the International Criminal Court, Moscow opened a criminal investigation against Karim Khan and three ICC judges.
According to the Russian investigation, Karim Khan is accused of “initiating criminal proceedings against a notoriously innocent person” and “preparing an attack against a representative of a foreign state.”
