“The Netanyahu factor clearly works against the ICC. Now 124 countries can refer to this case to avoid execution of a warrant against Putin.”
The decision by the US House of Representatives to impose sanctions on officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has caused widespread resonance.
It relates to an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued in November 2024.
Poland, in turn, said it would not enforce the order, guaranteeing Israeli leaders free participation in international events such as the Auschwitz anniversary.
However, the consequences of this decision go far beyond the borders of one country, affecting the issue of the arrest of Putin, accused of war crimes.
Netanyahu case: mistake?
According to experts, the Netanyahu case was a strategic mistake by the ICC. Political scientist Igor Chalenko notesthat this case can be interpreted as a reason for other countries, including Russia, to ignore the court's decisions.
“The Netanyahu factor clearly works against the ICC. Now 124 countries can refer to this case to avoid execution of a warrant against Putin.”notes Chalenko.
However, one should not discount the enormous work done by the ICC in documenting war crimes.
Russia and the ICC: why is Putin still at large?
Russian President Ptin is accused by the ICC of kidnapping children, but his other crimes, such as attacks on the power grid and civilian infrastructure, remain without due legal response.
The main accusations against Putin:
- Kidnapping and deportation of children.
- Attacks on civilian infrastructure.
- Destruction of key energy system facilities.
Despite this, arrest warrants have already been issued against a number of senior Russian military officials.
In particular, the commander of long-range aviation of the Russian aerospace forces Sergei Kobylash and the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet Viktor Sokolov.
International reaction
Against the backdrop of the conflict between the US and the ICC, Poland took the initiative to provide security for Israeli leaders at international events, such as at Auschwitz.
These actions highlight the importance of cooperation between Israel and its international partners in protecting human rights and countering aggression.
