VIDEO: Vladimir Putin's defiance in the face of an international arrest warrantAuthorities in Hungary would not arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he were to enter the country despite him being the subject of an international warrant for alleged war crimes inGergely Gulyas, chief of staff to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said during a news conference in Budapest that arresting Putin would contravene Hungarian law because the country has not promulgated the statute of the...
Gulyas said the statute of the ICC, of which Hungary is a member state, was in conflict with Hungary’s Constitution, and that arresting Putin would therefore violate Hungarian law. Orban's government has not yet taken a position on the warrant, but Gulyas said he considered it counterproductive. The chances of Putin facing trial in The Hague are highly unlikely because Moscow does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction or extradite its nationals. However, the warrant could limit the Russian leader's ability to travel to the tribunal's 123 member nations, which could arrest him in accordance with the warrant.
