This is NOT how an ICC suspect and fugitive from international justice should be received in a State Party to the Int'l Criminal Court. By failing to arrest #Putin, #Mongolia is violating the Rome Statute and its own legislation. Rule of law is in trouble in 🇲🇳.
“Welcoming Putin, an ICC fugitive, would not only be an affront to the many victims of Russian forces’ crimes, but would also undermine the crucial principle that no one, no matter how powerful, is above the law.” - Maria Elena Vignoli hrw.org/news/2024/09/0…
.Human Rights Watch noted that #Mongolia was among 94 countries that signed in June a joint statement declaring their “unwavering support” for the Int'l Criminal Court. Yet Mongolia welcomed Putin with a guard of honour, with no official response to the calls for it to honour the arrest warrant.
An interesting post, but the #ICC should not proceed with in abstentia confirmation of charges hearings against Kony to 'pave the way for Putin'. Uganda has often been treated as a laboratory for the Court to try things out in. That must not happen again. justsecurity.org/99033/joseph-k…
The ICJ was clear: states cannot help to uphold the illegal occupation of the #WestBank. So, how is it possible that all Big Six banks in 🇨🇦 hold millions in 🇮🇱 defence stock (esp. Scotiabank)? They are at risk of complicity in war crimes. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #cdnpoli

Canadians deserve to know what happened in one of worst cases of human rights violations against a Canadian citizen in recent memory, that of Abousfian Abdelrazik. As Paul Champ says, there's no good reason to keep it behind closed doors: cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli
