‘Heaven's vengeance is slow but sure': New ICC president says Putin will answer for war crimes
2024-03-23
[Jpost] The new International Criminal Court (ICC) president, Tomoko Akane, from Japan, expressed her belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin will face justice for war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine, the Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported on Wednesday, citing an interview the ICC judge gave to Kyodo News.

"Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure," Akane reportedly said of Putin potentially standing trial.

The ICC announced 67-year-old Akane as the newly elected ICC president earlier this month, who will serve from 2024 to 2027. Akane was elected alongside ICC First Vice-President Judge Rosario Salvatore Aitala, from Italy, and ICC Second Vice-President Judge Reine Alapini-Gansau from Benin.

The article acknowledged the unlikelihood of Russia handing over Putin but said that the Russian president could be arrested if he entered any ICC states.

#4  A bit strange that the prez of the ICC is invoking religion instead of international law. Perhaps she was just feeling poetic.

#3  To me there's no difference between ICC (or ICJ) issuing a ruling against Putin and ISIS issuing a fatwa. In both cases the perps should be eliminated.

#2  Face it Ruskies, since coming to power in 1999 and and giving opponents flying lessons and other career ending experiences.

You have had a X-KGB trained Dictator, but he hasn't reach Stalin levels yet.

Maybe Alexei Navalny's family will invite Putin over for dinner 😎?
