(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine. The warrant is in relation to the 'unlawful deportation' of children from occupied areas of Ukraine into Russia, with the Court believing that the two suspects involved bear 'criminal responsibility' for the alleged crimes. Human Rights Watch has been working to document war crimes, with reports of executions, torture, rape, and looting being committed by Moscow's troops. Balkees Jarrah, associate international justice director, expressed that the arrest warrants are a 'big day' for the victims of the crimes and sends a warning that giving orders to commit or tolerating serious crimes against civilians may lead to a prison cell in The Hague.
