Foreign Minister of South Africa: The President of Russia is one of the leaders of the BRICS, he was invited to the summit, and we are not going to comply with the decision of the ICC
One of the first countries in the world that recognizes the jurisdiction of the ICC, but is not going to execute the decision of the court in The Hague on the "arrest" of the President of Russia, is the Republic of South Africa. This state currently chairs the BRICS group.
The South African Foreign Ministry announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin was invited to the upcoming BRICS summit, which will be held in this African country.
Foreign Minister of South Africa Naledi Pandor:
The South African Foreign Ministry noted that it had already discussed with colleagues from Moscow the warrant issued by the ICC, and confirmed that, despite recognizing the jurisdiction of the court, official Pretoria would not comply with its decision on Vladimir Putin.
Ice pandor:
Almost simultaneously with South Africa, a statement that it would not comply with the order of the court in The Hague against Vladimir Putin was made by Hungary.
In this regard, even in the West itself, they are asking the question of how viable the ICC is today, against the background of the fact that even the countries that are members of the ICC openly say that they are not going to implement its decisions.
