South Africa's Dilemma: Granting Putin Diplomatic Immunity Despite ICC Arrest Warrant.

South Africa is considering its options regarding an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, should he attend a BRICS summit in August. South Africa, a member of the ICC, would theoretically be required to arrest Putin under the warrant issued in March by the court, which accused him of forcibly deporting children from Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine. One option gaining traction among South African officials would be to ask the group's previous chair China to host the summit.
