Popular Post onthedarkside Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 The prosecutor at the international criminal court will formally open two war crimes cases and issue arrest warrants for several Russians deemed responsible for the mass abduction of Ukrainian children and the targeting of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, according to reports on Monday. The New York Times and Reuters news agency reported that the prosecutor, Karim Khan, would ask pre-trial judges to approve arrest warrants on the basis of evidence collected so far. If successful, it would be the first time ICC warrants have been issued in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/mar/13/icc-to-issue-first-arrest-warrants-linked-to-russias-invasion-of-ukraine 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Good news, it's a start anyway .... I'll bet there are hundreds of cases they will have to follow up on. Boxes and boxes of paper to review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosLobo Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Brings back memories of 20 years ago when the ICC eventually caught and convicted Serb and Bosnian war criminals Milošević and Karadžić, who were found guilty of genocide in the Bosnian War. The ICC certainly has teeth but if the Russians never eventually give the ICC jurisdiction in Russia, the culprits will never be brought to justice unless they are apprehended in a signatory country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see no good thinking about it at the moment Putin's not going hand himself in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot really have a war crimes commission that ignores the guy who started it There's plenty to be getting on with: As the international criminal court in The Hague opens two war crimes cases tied to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Guardian profiles some of the commanders and generals accused by Ukraine, based on interviews with former soldiers, defence officials and open-source data. The Guardian has also reviewed a board used by Ukrainian prosecutors to track evidence of Russian war crimes. The board, 4 metres wide by 1.5 metres high, contains a detailed diagram of the entire Russian military chain of command in Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/14/the-4-metre-wide-board-detailing-the-entire-russian-military-chain-of-command-in-ukraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave0206 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 It's not that I don't agree with holding people responsible but Americans hold themselves above such standards even in normal circumstances to get America to extradite one of there own is very difficult. War crimes is impossible or declaring war on a country with " weapons if mass destruction " would have Bush in trouble along with Blair Hence why should others adhere ?
