"We reaffirm our firm commitment to upholding and defending the principles and values ​​enshrined in the Rome Statute and maintaining its integrity against any threats," the message says. The message does not specify what threats or attempts to interfere with the work in question, but the appearance of this publication was immediately linked by journalists to the earlier scandal over the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of the Russian president by the ICC. As REGNUM reported , on March 17, information appeared on the website of the International Criminal Court in The Hague about the issuance of an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the children's rights commissioner in Russia, Maria Lvova-Belova. The Kremlin reacted quite calmly to this absolutely propagandistic, illegal and unenforceable decision for the Russian Federation. The Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on this action, clarified that it has no significance for the country, since Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and does not bear obligations under it. Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted that the issuance of a warrant for the "arrest" of Putin could have consequences in the form of a response from Moscow. Medvedev added that if the impossible happened and they tried to arrest Vladimir Putin during an official visit to any country, this would be the actual start of a war . | |
