What does it take to hold world leaders accountable for their actions? What are the legal and political implications of pursuing powerful figures for international crimes?
The decision of the International Criminal Court Prosecutor to pursue high-profile leaders like Putin and Netanyahu is bold. These arrest warrants are not just about the charges themselves – they spark crucial conversations about accountability, justice, and the global enforcement of the rule of law.
Join international law expert, Professor Alex Whiting, to explore the legal foundations behind these arrest warrants, the challenges of bringing sitting world leaders to justice, and the wider impact on global diplomacy and international law. This talk will provide you with insights into the complexities of international justice and the power struggles at play on the global stage.
