Ukraine Calls for Putin’s Arrest Ahead of G20 Summit in Brazil
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Ukraine has called on Brazil to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin based on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) last year. Ukraine’s top prosecutor claimed to have received intelligence that Putin may attend the G20 summit in Brazil next month. With this information, Ukrainian officials are urging Brazilian authorities to enforce the ICC warrant for Putin’s arrest if he attends.

ICC Warrant for Putin’s Arrest

The ICC issued a warrant for Putin’s arrest in March 2023, accusing him of war crimes, particularly the deportation of children, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russia has repeatedly denied all allegations of war crimes and dismissed the ICC warrant as “null and void.” Despite this, Ukraine continues to push for accountability and stresses the significance of Putin’s arrest in ending the war.

Uncertainty Over Putin’s Attendance at G20

Speculation over Putin’s attendance at the G20 summit remains unconfirmed. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, when asked if Putin would attend the summit, stated, “No. When a decision is made, we will let you know.” Despite the uncertainty, Ukraine insists that if Putin does attend, Brazil is legally obligated to arrest him as a signatory of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC.

Ukraine’s Push for Accountability

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin emphasized the importance of holding Putin accountable for his role in the war. “It’s important for the international community to stand united and hold Putin accountable,” Kostin told Reuters. He urged Brazil to act in accordance with its legal obligations and arrest Putin if he arrives for the G20 meeting.

Kostin also warned that Brazil’s failure to act would set a dangerous precedent, where leaders accused of crimes could travel with impunity. “I truly hope that Brazil will arrest him, reaffirming its status as a democracy and a state governed by the rule of law,” he said.

Brazil’s Position and the ICC’s Role

Brazil, like other ICC member states, is expected to cooperate with the court. Brazil extended a standard invitation to Putin for the November 18-19 G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, but Brazilian officials indicated that they have not received any confirmation of his attendance.

The ICC’s spokesperson reiterated that it relies on state parties to execute its decisions, including arrest warrants. “Member states have the obligation to cooperate in accordance with the court’s founding treaty,” spokesperson Fadi El Abdallah said.

Previous Failures to Arrest Putin

Despite the ICC warrant, Putin traveled to Mongolia in September 2023 for an official state visit, where authorities failed to arrest him. Ukraine criticized Mongolia’s inaction as a blow to international justice. This incident, coupled with concerns about Brazil’s potential inaction, raises questions about the strength of international legal mechanisms to hold leaders accountable for crimes.

Implications for International Justice

The inability of the ICC to enforce its arrest warrants, particularly for high-profile leaders like Putin, highlights the challenges facing international justice. If Brazil were to ignore the ICC’s warrant, it could undermine the credibility of the court and its ability to uphold the rule of law globally.

Should Brazil fail to arrest Putin, it could represent a significant blow to the ICC’s authority and embolden other leaders accused of crimes to evade justice. The case underscores the delicate balance between international legal obligations and the political realities faced by member states.
