The US does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction, though it welcomed the court’s decision to issue an ?arrest warrant? for Putin
Washington’s reaction to the International Criminal Court’s ‘arrest warrant’ for Russian President Vladimir Putin seems schizophrenic, Moscow’s diplomatic mission in the country has said. The embassy added that the US, while uncooperative with the court in cases that involve Americans, was quick to welcome its latest decision regarding Russia.
In a post published on Telegram on Friday, the Russian Embassy said that the position of the US is « reminiscent of sluggish schizophrenia, » as « all American officials in unison repeated that the ICC is not a decree for the United States » – while these same officials claim that the court has valid grounds to go after Putin, as well as Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, the statement read.
