The International Criminal Court had issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this year.
The Russian government has placed a judge with the International Criminal Court (ICC) on its list of wanted persons, after launching criminal probes into several other officials at the organization.
Russia’s Interior Ministry updated its database on Wednesday, adding ICC judge Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez to the wanted list “in accordance with an article of the Russian Criminal Code.” The ministry has offered no other details about the case against Godinez, a Costa Rican national.
In March, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova for allegedly overseeing “unlawful deportations” of Ukrainian children to Russia. The warrant accuses both of bearing individual and command responsibility for the alleged offense under the ICC’s establishing treaty, the Rome Statute.
The Kremlin rejected the ICC’s warrant as invalid, stressing an absence of criminal liability and the court’s lack of jurisdiction, and responded by opening criminal investigations into one ICC prosecutor and several judges, among them Godinez. In September, ICC President Piotr Hofmanski was also declared wanted.
While Russia signed the Rome Statute in 2000, it never ratified the agreement and formally refused to sign it in 2016 after the court issued a declaration that Crimea’s 2014 accession to Russia – the result of a democratic referendum – constituted an “occupation.” Moscow thus does not recognize the court or its jurisdiction.
Turn around is fair play, as they say…..
Some people think that Russia “illegally” moved children from Ukraine to Russia.
My take on this situation is somewhat different: Russia has removed the children from Ukraine in order to keep them safe from child traffickers, from being used for adrenochrome extraction, and also safe from the war itself. The same situation occurred in England in WW2 during the blitz when German bombers where heavily bombing South-East England. Children were moved to temporarily adoptive families in the North-West of England.
Russia is at present removing the danger of the 50 or so biolabs in Ukraine and also rescuing children from child traffickers and arresting or terminating the traffickers.
What is interesting is why this is not coming out in the MSM. Just how much are we being lied to?
well mark, i totally agree with what you write.
I found DTNZ in an early stage, looking for for different info from europe where we get only ” propaganda” from msm – except from for ex Jacques Baud or Caroline Galacteros who are well informed and independants and NO journalist either. But as far as i know DTNZ was the only media publishing the name of for ex. Scott Ritter, Alexander Mercouris etc as a good source of information.
For the rest it has been all lies published by US and EU msm. The tax payer SHALL not know what is going on !!
