Russia puts ICC prosecutor Karim Khan on 'Wanted' list in a retaliatory measure I Oneindia News
The Russian government has put the British prosecutor of the international criminal court or the ICC on a wanted list in an act of retribution after the Hague-based court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for allegedly overseeing the abduction of Ukrainian children.
The arrest order said Russia’s interior ministry was seeking to detain Karim Khan, who has been serving as the ICC prosecutor since 2021.
The ministry's listing does not specify which crime Khan has been accused of.
As the court’s prosecutor, Khan had played an intimate role in the arrest warrant against Putin.
He visited Ukraine four times in the year before the accusations were made public.
Kyiv has accused Russia of abducting more than 16,000 children from the country since the full-scale invasion began in February last year.
In a resolution adopted by lawmakers in Strasbourg on Wednesday, the International Criminal Court is being urged to issue an arrest warrant for Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.

Just a day after Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva affirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be arrested if he attends the G-20 meeting in Brazil next year, he has now backtracked from his personal assurance. He has now said that it would be up to the judiciary to decide this. Furthermore, he also questioned Brazil’s membership in the United Nations war crimes court, saying that “emerging countries often sign things that are detrimental to them”. Putin missed this year’s G20 gathering in New Delhi, avoiding possible political opprobrium and any risk of criminal detention under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.
