Russia places Japanese ICC official on its wanted list

Hope that judge won't go to Belarusia or Russia anytime in the future, otherwise she'll experience Russia's hospitality.

She will spend the rest of her days in Western Europe, North America and Japan though should think twice about flying from Japan to Europe over Asia.

Oops.

Little Mini-me has clearly thrown another tantrum. Yet another case of thumbing his nose at International rules.

This is why fascist Russia in its present form will not be welcomed back into the civilized international community.

No one who values freedom would ever go to those totalitarian police-states.

How short people's hypocritical memory is - the USA has threatened ICC officials with legal sanctions and has even threatened to invade the Hague to free any soldiers or officials detained there.

The American Service-Members' Protection Act (also known informally as the Hague Invasion Act) is a law on the books in the US of A.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act#:~:text=This%20authorization%20led%20to%20the,or%20rescue%20them%20from%20custody.

Criticism of Russia here is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Hypocrites!

This is what we have come to expect from fascist Russia. The world is looking forward to the end of Putin's rule of terror.

It is interesting how flights have been disrupted by this. But more important, the flights within Russia are predominately aircraft manufacture outside of Russia. How long will those machines remain airworthy?

ICC is controlled by USA even though it’s not a member. The Hague is also controlled. The multipolar world will change all this.

(from Bloomberg) March 1, 2023... But one year into the war, Russian carriers are still operating 467 Airbus and Boeing jets, versus 544 a year ago, according to researcher Cirium.

ICC is silly joke.

As Rodney wrote above.

Remember Slobodan Milosevic?

I wish ICC had real teeth!!! Like special military units to go and get these bastards!

Russia acknowledges having transferred thousands of children out of Ukraine,

I hope that the peace agreement after Russia halts their invasion, if there is one, includes requirements for the return of the children.

It is indeed a shameful little piece of US law that should be repealed.

With no parts it is going to become increasingly difficult for their western sourced airliners to successfully pass their C and especially their D checks. They can possibly cannibalize their way past the routine A checks but if they need new parts to pass the C check that can be a show stopper unless the Russians are willing to knowingly fly unsafe aircraft with passengers.

If it were undeterred in the conduct of its lawful mandate to ensure accountability for the gravest crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, it wouldn't have short circuited the process to hold the Israeli regime responsible for crimes against humanity so it could bypass all the steps that would have made sure there was a viable case to prosecute before it issued the arrest warrant for Putin.

As it isn't, the majority of the member states regard the present iteration of the ICC, especially the Prosecutor, to not be pursuing its lawful mandate, but a discriminatory one. Whether Akane is actively involved in the Prosecutor's pursuing an unlawful mandate, or merely complicit, or even privately opposed is questionable.

Russia is at war with the ICC. A true rogue state.

The USA controls everything!!! Is it possible Russia and China just ain't got no friends?

Will this make Japan finally put some real teeth on the Russian sanctions? Or will it wait until the Japanese judge ends up with a mysterious polonium exposure?

The only interesting fact in this tread, and heavily down-voted. Learned something new today!

Imagine if a person could say they are not a member of the national court system—they could do whatever and couldn't be touched. Ridiculous. Why should countries get to decide whether or not to belong to the international court system?

Good luck japan you will never in your wildest dream arrest any Russian under ICC. Wishful thinking

Ukraine has plenty of Russians, all of which can be tried for participating in a War of Aggression at a minimum.

Then you completely ignored the content of this article. It does lend further credence to the theory that the US lives rent free in our enemies minds, though.

Excellent observation! Some folks can't handle facts when it collides with the carefully but simplistically constructed narrative of good versus evil which they've swallowed hook, line and sinker.

You understand that Japan is IN Asia, right? How do you propose they fly from Japan to anywhere without flying over Asia?

How ever will she sleep at night being able to visit only 191 countries. Putin, by contrast, can only visit 70 countries.

Russian desperation in the face of mounting pressure and criticism of its many war crimes in Ukraine. A time will come, when the fighting has stopped on the ground, that will begin the fighting in the courts. Russia may get hold of some to prosecute and make them examples, but Russian refusal to accept blame for its actions will see it and those personally responsible pay for many years to come with sanctions, bans and being left out of international dealings and agreements.

The international community will exact a high price from Russia unless they acquiesce as Germany did after WWI. It will be severe and ongoing probably for decades, to help Ukraine pay for rebuilding the destruction Russia has inflicted on Ukraine.

Charging ICC judges for doing their duty and upholding international war crime laws against Russians is simply Putin's doing for revenge, not for any other reason.

Ukraine has already lost the war. Shoganai

The irony of ICC when the USA doesn’t want to participate in ICC because why you know why. It’s obvious.

The ICC gave inspiration to the drug lords in the PH when they insisted to investigate a president who was at war with the drug industry.

Manila should follow Moscow's move asap!

Brilliant gambit Russia! Now those ICC judges who were never on the field knows how it feels to be judged by an outsider!

The murdering midget of Moscow is feeling the heat.

They can say that they are ignoring this warrant as meaningless. Their actions say otherwise.

Its ironic that Russia wants to place someone else on the ICC official list, seeing they are not a signature of this body, just like the USA is not. The ICC is a waste of money and resources, in its 14yrs of work it has produced only 4 verdicts at a cost of over $1billion....yes, 1 $billion. One more thing, the USA can hardly point the finger at any other individual when they have allegedly 10+ such criminals in the USA today.

The US is not mentioned in this article but thank you for thinking about us.
