When Russian President Vladimir Putin travels to Alaska next week to meet with US President Donald Trump, he will be able to do so with confidence that he will not be arrested.
This is because, while Putin is the subject of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued in 2023, neither Russia nor the US are signatories to the Rome Statute, which created the court in 2002.
The ICJ accused the Russian leader of "being responsible for the war crime of illegally deporting children" from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia.
The Kremlin labeled the court's actions as "ugly and unacceptable," CNN writes.
Putin has been careful with his travel itineraries since the arrest warrant was issued.
In 2023, he declined an invitation to a summit in South Africa.
But, a year later, he reached China and North Korea, neither of which has been signed in court.
Otherwise, the ICJ relies on members to arrest and extradite suspects to The Hague, where its headquarters are located.
