Putin will be arrested if he comes to Ireland, Department of Justice says

The ICC announced a warrant for the arrest of Putin on charges relating to the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

Ireland will arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin on charges of war crimes in the unlikely event he sets foot in Ireland, the Department of Justice has confirmed.

Forced deportation of children was designated as a war crime by the Rome Statute which established the ICC in 1998.

It also opens the possibility – albeit remote – that a future Russian leader may extradite Putin to The Hague. »

This drug has completely eliminated cancer in a third of the participants in a long-awaited clinical trial in the United States.
