The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, a member of Putin’s government. The ICC accused them of being “allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.”
The Ukrainian crisis continues to dominate international news. The alleged violations of human rights have been well documented, but the focus has recently shifted to the alleged abduction and forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. Putin’s administration has been accused of carrying out a scheme to forcibly deport thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia where they undergo political reeducation.
The ICC statement Friday said there are “reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes,” both for having committed the acts directly or through others in his command, and for “his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates.”
Her government title is commissioner for children’s rights in the Office of the Russian President. Lvova-Belova is the official at the center of the alleged scheme to forcibly deport thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia.
According to the US and several European governments, Putin’s administration has carried out a scheme to forcibly deport thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia, often to a network of dozens of camps where the minors undergo political reeducation. Maria Lvova-Belova’s efforts specifically include the forced adoption of Ukrainian children into Russian families, the “patriotic education” of Ukrainian children, legislative changes to expedite the provision of Russian Federation citizenship to Ukrainian children, and the deliberate removal of Ukrainian children by Russia’s forces.
The ICC announcement comes just days after several US news outlets reported the court was planning to open two war crimes cases tied to the invasion of Ukraine and issue arrest warrants against “several people.” According to the New York Times, the ICC was set to first open a case on Russia’s alleged abduction of Ukrainian children. Then a second case would focus on Moscow “unrelentingly” targeting civilian infrastructure, including water supplies and gas tanks.
The cases would represent the first international charges to be brought since the start of Russia’s war and come after months of work by special ICC investigation teams, according to the NYT.
In conclusion, the ICC has issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, a member of Putin’s government, for their alleged involvement in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. Putin’s administration has been accused of carrying out a scheme to forcibly deport thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia, often to a network of dozens of camps where the minors undergo political reeducation. The ICC statement said there are “reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes,” both for having committed the acts directly or through others in his command, and for “his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates.”#ICC #issues #arrest #warrantfor #Putin #Russian #official #tied #alleged #deportation #Ukrainian #children
