The Legal Implications of Putin's Diplomatic Actions at BRICS Summit.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has stated that the potential arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin on an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague is legitimate and in accordance with international law. The warrant was issued in March for Putin's alleged illegal deportation of thousands of children from Ukraine. If Putin attends the BRICS summit in South Africa in August, he could be arrested as South Africa has signed the Rome Statute of the ICC. Baerbock emphasized the importance of respecting international law and holding war criminals accountable.
