Britain called the decision "welcome" and the European Union said it was "just the start." US President Joe Biden said the warrant was "justified," and "makes a very strong point," while noting that the United States is not a member of the ICC.

In November 2022, an ICC prosecutor sought to move ahead with charges of war crimes against Ugandan militant and founder of the Lord’s Resistance Army, Joseph Kony. He also said that any decision of the court was “null and void” due to Russia not being an ICC member, the news agency Reuters reported. The ICC can also practice its jurisdiction over cases referred by the UN Security Council to it. However, the USA has kept its distance, maintaining that ICC should not exercise jurisdiction over citizens of countries that are not a party to it. However, the ICC’s jurisdiction is limited to offences occurring after it came into effect on July 1, 2002. The ICC, headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, was established under a 1998 treaty called the “Rome Statute” .

Putin Can Still Visit These Major Countries After ICC Arrest Warrant (Newsweek)

The court's decision obligates 123 member countries to arrest the Russian president if he enters their territory.

Kyiv has said that more than 16,000 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia since the start of the war with many allegedly placed in institutions and foster homes. This still leaves him with options to visit countries in the Moscow-led alliances of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) such as Armenia and Azerbaijan. China's president [Xi Jinping](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/xi-jinping) is due to meet Putin next week in the Russian capital. [Vladimir Putin](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/vladimir-putin) theoretically isolates the Russian president from two-thirds of the world, but it still leaves a significant number of countries that he can visit. However, with 193 member states of the Because Moscow does not recognize the court, it is unlikely that Putin or Lvova-Belova will be surrendered to its jurisdiction.

ICC issues arrest warrant for Putin, March Madness gets crazy: 5 ... (USA TODAY)

On today's episode of the 5 Things podcast: The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And I'll see you Monday with more of Five Things from USA Today. Top overall seed, Alabama remains, and more upsets are likely on the way this weekend as the second round gets underway. Then, 1-seed Purdue, led by one of the best players in the country, Zach Edey, lost to 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson, just the second time in history a 16-seed has beaten a one. And are we seeing similar adaptations to what the eagles are doing here? You put them out in the field and it takes them a while to rot away, or you can try and compost them, or you have to have somebody haul them away. Beth, welcome back to the show. And I think that's what's at stake in this case. And what the court basically said was that if your claim is only about ADA issues and not about education issues directly, then you're good to go. The thing that happens here is parents and school districts negotiate these plans, but there can be confusion about what's actually happening with those plans and what's being accomplished, and like in this case, there was just a failure on behalf of the school, I think, to accommodate this student. Meanwhile, Chinese President, Xi Jinping, plans to visit Russia next week and meet with Putin in what appears to be a show of support for him. Taylor Wilson: There may be some differences between the audio and the text.
