German Justice Minister Bushman announced that he would arrest Putin in the event of his visit to Germany.
The Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection of Germany, Marco Bushman, is going to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin in the event of his visit to Germany. He expressed this intention in an interview with a German newspaper, despite the fact that the International Criminal Court (ICC), which recently announced an arrest warrant for the Russian president, is not a recognized organization in many countries of the world.
Bushman announced that he would fulfill the requirements of the arrest warrant and arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he set foot on German territory," the official's intention is conveyed by the German edition of Zeit. Bushman stressed that Germany would be "obliged" to comply with the court's decision: "The ICC will quickly contact Interpol and demand enforcement. Then Germany will be obliged to arrest President Putin and hand him over to the ICC if he enters the territory of Germany."
The publication noted that Germany is part of the states that are members of the ICC and must arrest the wanted and transfer them to The Hague. Nevertheless, a number of countries, including the United States, China, India, Israel and Iran, fundamentally object to the very idea of the existence of the ICC, since they consider the organization to limit the sovereignty of states. It is also worth noting that the ICC is not part of the official UN structures and does not relate to the International Court of Justice.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague

The International Criminal Court in The Hague announced on March 17 that it had issued an arrest warrant for Putin. At the same time, the jurisdiction of the ICC is not recognized in the United States, Russia and a number of other countries. The Kremlin called such a decision outrageous and insignificant from the point of view of law, since Russia and a number of other states do not recognize the jurisdiction of this court.
Earlier, US military analyst Sean Bell noted that the ICC decision is not a significant blow to the Russian leader and will only strengthen his resolve. He also added that institutions such as the ICC have a limited ability to take action, so Putin will not be in court. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz did not give very specific comments on the issuance of an arrest warrant for Putin and his detention on the territory of Germany, RT reports.
