How many divisions does the ICC have?

The arrest warrant against Putin is better than nothing, but just barely.

When the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladmir Putin last week, I thought it was a bold gesture that reflects the world’s outrage about the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its policy of kidnapping Ukrainian children to brainwash them into becoming obedient Russians.

And when Putin minion Dmitry Medvedev compared the arrest warrant to toilet paper, I thought…honestly, he’s not wrong.

Okay, that’s probably going a bit too far. If Putin sets foot in a country which has ratified the Rome Statue, which created the International Criminal Court, and actually takes its legal obligations seriously, he would be arrested and remanded to The Hague.

So, that’s maybe four or five countries off limits to him, then. Really nice countries, mostly in Western and Northern Europe, but Mad Vlad likely wasn’t planning any visits to Stockholm or Copenhagen anyway.
