flag ICC confirms arrest warrants for Putin and others remain valid despite peace talks.

flag The International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed that arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and five others over alleged war crimes in Ukraine remain valid, regardless of ongoing U.S.-led peace talks or potential amnesties. flag Deputy prosecutors stated only a UN Security Council resolution could suspend the warrants, as the ICC’s Rome Statute does not recognize political agreements as grounds to halt justice. flag The court emphasized its independence from diplomatic efforts, stressing that lasting peace requires accountability. flag Russia rejects the ICC’s jurisdiction, and the U.S., China, India, and other major powers are not ICC members, limiting enforcement. flag Despite challenges including U.S. sanctions on ICC staff, prosecutors expressed confidence in the court’s mandate and ongoing support from its 125 member states.
