The Inquiry

Will Putin be prosecuted for war crimes in Ukraine?


Listen Later

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

He is accused of forcibly deporting children from Ukraine to Russia after the invasion last year.

The Kremlin does not recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC and denies war crimes.

But is this a symbolic move and is it realistic that Putin will actually be arrested and stand trial?

This week on The Inquiry we’re asking, will Putin be prosecuted for war crimes in Ukraine?

Rachel Denber, Deputy director for Europe and Central Asia at Human Rights Watch
Gerry Simpson, Professor of Law at the London School of Economics
