The Global Debate: Should Putin be Arrested?

An arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Russian President Vladimir Putin is dividing world leaders, with some countries indicating they may not comply with the warrant if Putin sets foot on their soil. Hungary and South Africa, both members of the court, have not committed to executing the arrest warrant. The ICC accused Putin of overseeing the alleged war crime of the unlawful abduction and deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. The court relies on member countries to cooperate and use their own law enforcement bodies to detain suspects if they cross their borders.
