This is NOT how an ICC suspect and fugitive from international justice should be received in a State Party to the @IntlCrimCourt. By failing to arrest #Putin, #Mongolia is violating the Rome Statute and its own legislation. Rule of law is in trouble in 🇲🇳.
Mongolia will have to answer for this violation before the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber, which may make a finding of non-compliance with the ICC's cooperation request and, moreover, refer the matter to the Assembly of States Parties. This will highly embarrassing for the 🇲🇳 government.

The @CIJ_ICJ public hearings concerning the request for the indication of provisional measures in the Allegations of #Genocide Case (#Ukraine v #Russia) are about to begin.
Follow: icj-cij.org/en/multimedia-…
President J Donoghue opens the hearing and states her regret that #Russia has failed to appear at the hearing. The hearing was scheduled on short notice but it is quite remarkable, if unsurprising, that the respondent is absent.
Some ICJ judges are participating via video link.

Today anti-war protests took place in major cities Russia. Participating in them has recently been criminalised. At least 2,502 persons were detained today and nearly 11,000 since the start of the war. The police (at times in plain clothing) have used disproportionate violence.
