    I’m not sure I understand how these warrants can take place. It will come from other member states in case any of them travel there?

    Also how is it that Putin has not been arrested yet? Has he avoided those destinations.

    If I misunderstood something or everything, please let me know.

      Yes, Putin has avoided those destinations so far. He even got warned by South Africa that they’d have to arrest him if he were to travel to a meeting there.

      They can’t make a country arrest it’s own leader.

      But if they travel to any UN country, the country is supposed to arrest them, or coordinate with countries willing to.

      So these are more like an exile than anything.

      Kind of like a sanction but instead of money it’s on personal travel.

      Sanctions are still waaaaaay more effective though and what we should be doing. Money is what these despots care about.

          If the person who beats him wants too…

          And if Netenyahu even lets Israel have elections. Before 10/7 he was already in the process of getting kicked out of office, the only reason he’s still in power is 10/7.

        Only to countries that are part of the ICC. Many countries, including the US, aren’t a part so Netanyahu can safely travel to those places.

      Technically any member state, but they wouldn’t refuse him if a non member state arrested him too. And I say technically because there’s a few member states that support him and would likely not arrest him.
