(AP Photo/Peter Dejong, File)Ukraine’s General Prosecutor Andriy Kostin cheered the decision.”Now, if Putin leaves Russia, he would be arrested and surrendered to ICC,” Kostin said. “World leaders will think twice before shaking his hand or sitting with Putin at the negotiating table. It’s another clear signal to the world that the Russian regime is criminal.”While the court was established as an international judicial body with the signing of the Rome Treaty of 1998, the ICC began actual operations in 2002 based in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. To date, 123 countries have ratified the treaty and approved the authority of the court in international prosecution.ILHAN OMAR SAYS US MUST JOIN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT BEFORE IT CAN HOLD PUTIN ACCOUNTABLE FOR WAR CRIMESThe court’s function is to prosecute perpetrators of the worst crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
