Russia wanted list: The Russian government has added a new name to their wanted list. In this list, Russia has listed the name of an International Criminal Court judge. The case in which the judge has been proclaimed wanted was not disclosed by Russia. In March, a warrant was issued for the Russian President’s arrest.
Moscow: Russia’s wanted list included one more judge from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday. In connection with the crisis in Ukraine, they are also calling for President Putin to be arrested. According to a notification in the Russian Interior Ministry database, Costa Rican judge Sergio Gerardo Ugaldo Godinez of the ICC, which is located in The Hague, is wanted in the criminal case. But no details about the crime for which he is sought have been provided.
On war crimes allegations of forcibly deporting Ukrainian children who had been displaced by the conflict in their own country, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in March. Maria Lvova-Belova, the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights, was the subject of an arrest order issued by the ICC on the same charges. Russia does not belong to the ICC. He underlined that there is no relevance to the warrant that was issued against Putin.
Putin's tours halted
Putin was barred from traveling to numerous nations even if Russia disregarded the warrant. If Putin went to ICC member nations, he feared being arrested. During the August BRICS summit, Putin did not visit South Africa. He continued by saying that he didn’t want to cause his pals any trouble. Furthermore, Putin did not visit India for the September G-20 summit. Despite his trip to China last month.
The warrant was also issued previously.
Arrest warrants have previously been issued by Russia for various judges and ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. Russia declared in September that Piotr Hofmanski, the president of the ICC, should be arrested. An ICC field office was established in Ukraine in September to hold Russia responsible for its attacks on that country.
