The International Criminal Court (ICC) may prosecute Mongolia over the country’s authorities’ refusal to honour an “arrest” warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to the country.
About it writes Politico.
The publication quotes Tamás Hoffmann, a senior fellow at the Institute for Legal Studies.
‘Mongolia will undoubtedly be held accountable by the International Criminal Court for breaching its duty to cooperate,’ he argues.
Hoffmann also noted, there are no serious consequences for the offending country in such a case.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that Mongolia had ‘sent’ the ICC and Europe in the Russian-Mongolian direction known since the 13th century.
Putin arrived on a visit to Mongolia on 2 September. A solemn ceremony was held in honour of the official meeting.
