Human Rights Watch has called on Mongolia to either deny the Russian president entry or arrest him.
The George Soros-funded organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on the government of Mongolia to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin during his trip to the country, which it says would be in accordance with the Asian state’s obligations as a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Putin arrived in Mongolia on Monday at the invitation of the country’s president, Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, to attend a ceremony commemorating the 1939 Battle of Khalkhin Gol, in which Soviet and Mongolian forces defeated the Imperial Japanese Army.
Ahead of his visit, HRW, which has received over $100 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, issued a statement on its website warning Mongolia against allowing Putin to enter the country.
“Mongolia would be defying its international obligations as an ICC member if it allows Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit without arresting him,” the HRW’s senior international justice counsel, Maria Elena Vignoli said, claiming that welcoming the Russian President would “undermine the crucial principle that no one, no matter how powerful, is above the law.”
Last year, the ICC issued a warrant for Putin’s arrest, accusing him of “unlawful deportation of population (children)” and “unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine” to Russia amid the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
Russia has rejected the ICC’s accusations as absurd, stressing that the evacuation of civilians from a combat zone is not a war crime. Moscow has also pointed out that it has never signed the Rome Statute, on which the ICC is based, meaning that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter.
Meanwhile, Mongolian authorities, despite having signed the Rome Statute on which the ICC is based, have reportedly said that they have no intention of arresting Putin, according to Bloomberg, which cited two sources familiar with the matter.
Putin arrived in the Mongolian capital on Monday and was greeted by an honorary guard at Ulaanbaatar Airport. According to presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, he will have a “rich program” on Tuesday as part of his state visit, which will include a meeting with his Mongolian counterpart, negotiations in various formats dedicated to bilateral relations, as well a signing ceremony of Russian-Mongolian intergovernmental documents.
Ahead of the trip, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow had “no concerns” about Putin’s visit and the ICC warrant, stating that “we have excellent relations with our friends from Mongolia,” and that all issues concerning the Russian president’s trip had been “worked out” beforehand.
But some ARE above the law and the ICC is their protection racket. (In my opinion).
Why have not the ICC arrested Gates Fauci and Co with all their cohorts and a multitude of PMs State Premiers and Governors all over the world on the Bioweapon crimes against humanity when all the clear evidence was put before them ??????? In the eyes of the people of the world the ICC is just a another non event.
President Putin removed the children from Ukraine to (1) keep them out of harm’s way from the bombs and bullets and, (2) keep them from the child traffickers.
It is worth noting that in WW2, British children were evacuated from South-East England and went to temporary foster homes in the North-West until the war was over in order to keep them safe.
What a joke. Yeah good luck arresting Putin, who is in real terms, arguably the most powerful man in the world.Very much aside from the fact the ICC are not recognised in Russia and have proven themselves biased and unjust. Where are those Israeli arrest warrants guys? Not to mention warrants for possible war criminals, in the USA and UK.
I hope Soros is on Russia’s “enemy of the state” hit list.
Me too, would love to see all the Soros family vaporized.
Can not understand whay Soros (not real name) was not hanged or imprisioned forever at Nuremburg in 1946.
This kind of organization should be more concerned with own US domestic problems.
Originating mostly from protestant backgrounds and using ” guilt” as a tool of manipulation
Putin would only go to countries that guaranteed him his diplomatic protection would be respected, therefore anyone trying to do anything outside parameters would have to deal with his security detail, MF’rs gonna get shot.
