The International Criminal Court\u0027s chief prosecutor says he has every confidence that South Africa will arrest Vladimir Putin when the Russian president is expected to attend an international summit there in August.
South Africa’s ambassador to Canada recently told The Canadian Press that the country prefers the idea of peace talks to the West’s approach of trying to punish the Russian aggressors.
Khan said he thinks the country will “want to act on the law for their own people and for the world they want to bequeath to their children.” “Canada has excellent relations with South Africa. But I respectfully share the view expressed by prosecutors that we can count on South Africa to do the right thing because of their commitment to the rule of law and because they share the same values that we do along the way,” he said.
The ICC counts on member states to execute its warrants. Ukraine is not a member of the court but is granting it jurisdiction over its territory and Khan has visited several times.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia considers the ICC decisions “legally void” and called the court’s move “outrageous and unacceptable.”
