South Africa's Diplomatic Conundrum with Putin and BRICS.

South Africa is facing a diplomatic dilemma over whether to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been invited to attend the BRICS summit in Johannesburg in August, despite being the subject of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for war crimes. South Africa is a signatory to the ICC's founding treaty, the Rome Statute, and is technically obliged to arrest Putin if he enters the country and send him to The Hague. The government of President Cyril Ramaphosa is exploring all options to sidestep a diplomatic firestorm, including moving the summit to another BRICS nation or making it online.
