The Children’s Ombudsman, Maria Lvova-Belova, said she was not sure what the International Criminal Court (ICC) was accusing him of.
“We do not currently know which cases these are. The argumentation used in the public domain is abstract: it does not contain names, surnames, addresses, respectively, we cannot verify it in any way,” she wrote in her Telegram channel.
She stressed that the ICC representatives did not contact her, did not transfer any materials and documents.
Meanwhile, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against the ICC prosecutor and judges. The reason for this is the court decision on the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova. The ministry said there were no grounds for criminal prosecution.
Western countries support the ICC decision, despite the fact that the United States does not recognize the Court’s jurisdiction. Among the countries that have not acceded to the Rome Statute, on the basis of which the ICC makes a decision, is also Russia. The Russian Embassy in Washington likened the US position to slow-moving schizophrenia and noted that Washington only accepts the ICC’s position when Moscow is criticized.
Lvova-Belova says she doesn’t know exactly what the ICC is accusing her of
