Putin's Mongolia Visit Tests ICC Arrest Warrant

Russian President's first trip to ICC member state since war crimes warrant issued challenges international legal norms

Mongolia, an ICC member, is obligated to detain Putin under the arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.
The Kremlin dismisses concerns, citing strong diplomatic ties with Mongolia.
This visit marks Putin's first to an ICC member since the warrant was issued in March 2023.
Ukraine urges Mongolia to comply with the ICC's arrest warrant.
The ICC has no enforcement mechanism, relying on member states to execute arrest warrants.
