Not anyone. As long as he’s in power he’s protected by diplomatic protocol. No one is going to break international law and risk their reputation and ability to host diplomats for an ICC warrant. Just makes his predicament more desperate long term though.

- somenameforme 2y agoThis is also what I thought when they issued the warrant against Putin, but it does not seem to be the case. There's a lot of inscrutable legal precedent regarding diplomatic immunity and high crimes, of which there is none higher than genocide. This is exactly why Putin did not make a personal appearance in South Africa for the BRICS summit. South Africa felt that they would be legally obligated to arrest him due to the ICC warrant, and that was all over a far lesser charge of unlawfully deporting children.
