Former war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has called for the ICC to quickly issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over actions in Ukraine.
GENEVA - Former war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has called for the International Criminal Court to quickly issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over actions in Ukraine.
Just over five weeks into the invasion, thousands have been killed and millions displaced as parts of Ukraine have been reduced to rubble. Del Pont acknowledged that an arrest warrant did not necessarily mean Putin would be taken into custody. Del Ponte said her experience as chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia brought her hope that Putin, like former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, could one day be arrested and charged with war crimes.
