He told about it in an interview with BBC. According to him, the court initially considered the possibility of keeping the orders for arrest, but decided to make them public to try to stop further crimes. "You cannot treat children as a military prey, they cannot be deported. You do not need to be a lawyer for such a crime, you need to be a person to know how flashy it is," Karim Khan said.
He recalled historical events when few people considered a probable arrest and a trial in Hague over Serbian leader Slobodan Miloshevich for the war crimes he had in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s. "Those who feel that you can commit a crime in the afternoon and sleep well at night may have to look at history," he said. Sir Jeffrey Nice, who was charged with former President Serbia Slobodan Miloshevich, said the warrant would change the views of foreign leaders on Putin.
"He will remain a probable criminal until he stands before court or is transferred to court and justified. It seems extremely unlikely, so he will remain a likely criminal for the rest of his life," said Jeffrey Nice. On March 17, the International Criminal Court in the Hague issued a permit for Putin's arrest. In addition to the Russian dictator, a warrant for the arrest of the Russian President for the Rights of the Child Maria Lviv-Belova was issued.
They are accused of kidnapping and exporting 16,000 children from the territory of Ukraine. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called the Hague decision in Hague to issue Putin's arrest permission "the beginning of historical responsibility". Most countries and international organizations of the world have expressed their support to Ukraine and noted that the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of Vladimir Putin is a historical solution.
