Mongolia should explain why it ignored the order of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and did not arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin when he arrived in the country, the ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan stated in an interview with the BBC.
"The negotiation process at the court level is underway. The judges may give their recommendations in case there is a lack of cooperation, but I don't want to predict anything, because this issue is now being resolved between the judges and the Mongolian government," Khan said.
Asked if he believes that Putin will ever be tried for war crimes in Ukraine, the ICC chief prosecutor responded positively.
"People laughed when the former Yugoslavia tribunal sought arrest warrants for Karadzic and Mladic, not to mention Milosevic, when the Special Court for Sierra Leone issued a warrant for former President Charles Taylor, but as history has shown, these people, who in the past had considerable power in their own country and in the region, ended up in the dock," Khan emphasized.
According to the chief prosecutor of the ICC, “there are examples that show that if someone does whatever they want, using power that is not limited by higher accountability, their room for maneuver is narrowing.”
