Russia Targets Hague Court Judges and ICC President, Adding Them to Wanted List

Russia has issued arrest warrants for International Criminal Court (ICC) President Piotr Józef Hofmański, his deputy, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, and Judge Bertram Schmitt, adding them to its wanted list. This comes after the ICC accused Russian President Vladimir Putin and his children's commissioner of the illegal deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. Russia argues that the ICC's arrest warrant is void as it is not a member state. The ICC relies on member states to enforce its arrest warrants, and Russia's move raises concerns about the enforcement of international justice.
