Abstract

The issuance of an arrest warrant against the leader of one of the world's greatest powers and who is a member of the UN Security Council represents a turning point in International Criminal Law and in the performance of the International Criminal Court, which until then was criticized for being limited to agents of states with little relevance on the world stage. The measure, although not feasible at the moment, punishes and restricts the movement of Vladimir Putin and Maria Alekseyevna across almost the entire globe, sending a relevant – and necessary – message to inhibit the practice of international crimes.
