Putin Arrest Warrant: How effective is ICC’s arrest warrant for Putin? Biden welcomes action – know how icc arrest warrant effect vladimir putin biden welcomes criminal court step

Washington: US President Joe Biden has welcomed the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court against his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. The ICC has accused President Putin of committing war crimes in Ukraine, BBC reports. The claims center on the illegal deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia since the invasion of Moscow in 2022. Moscow has denied the allegations and described the warrant as ‘outrageous’.

As the BBC reports, there is little chance that the move will achieve much, as the ICC has no power to arrest suspects without the cooperation of a country’s government. Russia is not a member of the ICC, which means the court has no jurisdiction there. Putin is the third president, who has been issued an arrest warrant by the ICC.
