Popular Post forky123 Posted March 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2023 18 hours ago, Moses said: What do you think: why on the next day after arrest warrant issue UK transferred to ICC 1 million of euro? Perhaps because the UK is the largest contributor to the ICC supplying 10% of its budget? Yes, the ICC is fairly toothless but what else is there? Putin is a war criminal - fact. If the ICC decision affects his movement even slightly then it's a success. Marc in Calif, reader, Ruthrieston and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be quite happy for the UK, US and others to stop paying over the odds for these organisations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most EU countries are members of the ICC. I'm not bored enough to see if it's all of them. Unless you can prove the ICC did tasks requested by the EU then the word bribe does not apply. There is little doubt many of Putin's actions fall within the remit of the ICC. That Russia is not a member means actually arresting him is not likely. Perhaps he'll find a window to "fall" out of or some "bad food" to eat like so many of his opponents.
