"Do the right": South Africa arrests Putin in the event of a visit to the country - the ISS Prosecutor

He stated this before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Commons of Canada, CBC reports. According to him, in South Africa it will be possible to ensure the execution of the order of international instance. Khan noted that the Commonwealth Country would do it correctly. "They officially stated that they were aware of these responsibilities. I do not think they need my care," he commented on South Africa's statements about Putin's probable arrest.

Karim Khan noted that he did not want to discuss the issue in public. He added that the country that has successfully fought for the overcoming of the racist system of apartheid has the right to make a decision on its own. "I think they are fully aware of their responsibility, and I'm sure they will do the right things," the official explained.

Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin, despite the arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, intends to visit the Summit of the State of BRICS, which is planned in August. South Africa is obliged to arrest the Russian President in accordance with the relevant Order issued by the ISS, since it is the signator of the Roman Statute. The Kremlin head is accused of illegal deportation of children from Ukraine.

On April 25, the Russian news agencies were quoted by the words of President of South Africa Syril Ramafos, who declared his country from the ISS. Subsequently, the authorities of the African state stated that the statement on the exit from the ISS was a "mistake". The President allegedly mistakenly voiced the status of South Africa in the International Criminal Court.
