The “absurd” statement by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim AA Khan KC., on the issuance of “arrest warrants” against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova and the US support for the ICC decision is further proof that Russia “is facing an implacable enemy that it must defeat”, Christopher C. Black, an international criminal lawyer with 20 years of experience in criminal cases, told Sputnik. war crimes and international relations. The “arrest warrants” from The Hague, made public on March 17, accuse Putin and Lvova-Belova of illegally deporting children “from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation” from 2022, in reference to Moscow’s special military operation in Ukraine, launched in February 2022. Russian officials and diplomats have always specifically pointed to Moscow’s efforts to relocate civilians, including children, away from frontline areas, amid the indiscriminate shelling of Ukrainian forces against ure civilian infrastructure. Firstly, the absurdity of the ICC’s “mandate” lies in the simple fact that the prosecutor’s office has “made no independent investigation into the question raised concerning the children”, stressed Christopher C. Black. Furthermore, the judicial expert echoed statements made by Russian officials, stressing that the so-called “arrest warrants” issued by The Hague have no legal value. ic. “The ICC has no jurisdiction over Russia or its officials. Russia is not a party to the Treaty of Rome, nor are the United States and China. The ICC has no jurisdiction to issue a warrant against a Russian official,” Black said. However, he added: “At this point, the legal expert was referring to the US-led and inspired color revolution – the Euromaidan coup in Kyiv in 2014. Events led to the ousting of then-President Viktor Yanukovych and escalated into a more than eight-year-old conflict in the Donbass, when Kyiv authorities launched a military operation against the separatist regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, who refused to recognize the new central government that came to power after the “revolution”. It was these events that finally prompted Russia to decide to launch its military operation in Ukraine on February 24. The measures taken by the ICC are not those of An independent body like Washington has its “trump cards in the ICC on many levels,” Black said. This is being done “clearly under the aegis of the United States”, he told Sputnik, with the main objective being “to prevent any negotiation for the pe”. ace, whatever.” He added that the current ICC decision also appears to be timed to try to disrupt the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, scheduled for March 20-22.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) deliberately singled out the issue of children for its ’emotional impact’ when it issued ‘arrest warrants’ for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his children’s rights commissioner, says international criminal lawyer Christopher C. Black, commenting on the ICC move.
First, the absurdity of the ICC’s “mandate” lies in the simple fact that the prosecution has “has made no independent investigation of the issue raised regarding the children“, underlined Christopher C. Black.
“He didn’t ask anyone in Russia or the Donbass about the circumstances and conditions… Of course, they chose the issue of children to have the most emotional impact,” the commentator said. international affairs.
“The ICC has no jurisdiction over Russia or its officials. Russia is not a party to the Treaty of Rome, nor are the United States and China. The ICC has no jurisdiction to issue a warrant against a Russian official,” he added. Black said. However, he added:
“They will argue that a letter that Ukraine sent to the ICC in April 2014 in which Ukraine stated that it has acceded to the jurisdiction of the ICC, even though it is not a member of the Treaty, But the legitimacy of this letter is questionable since it was sent by the NATO-imposed coup regime right after the 2014 coup in Ukraine, so any lawyer would argue that he had no legitimacy since he was not deposed by the legitimate government of Ukraine but by a NATO puppet government.
The actions taken by the ICC are not those of an independent body, because Washington has its “active within the ICC at several levels“, pointed out Black. It is”clearly made under the aegis of the USA“, he told Sputnik, because the main objective is to”prevent any peace negotiations whatsoever.“
“They have now called President Putin etc. criminals. They have done the same with President Milosevic of Yugoslavia and Saddam Hussein of Iraq. They were both executed by the Americans, Hussein hanged, Milosevic assassinated, everything like Gaddafi. It’s clear,” said the international criminal lawyer.
“There is no turning back for the West with this. The Americans will declare that any attempt to support or negotiate with Russia helps the criminals and that there will be consequences. Russia faces a implacable enemy that she must defeat. She has no choice now,” he added. Christopher C. Black concluded.
