Mongolia's decision to welcome Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against him, has sparked international controversy and diplomatic tension. The visit, which marks Putin's first trip to an ICC member state since the warrant was issued, has put Mongolia in a difficult position. The ICC had issued the warrant in March 2023, accusing Putin of war crimes related to the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. As a member of the ICC since 2002, Mongolia is obligated under the Rome Statute to arrest individuals subject to ICC warrants. However, the country opted to honor Putin with a guard of honour, defying its legal obligations and raising concerns among international legal experts and human rights advocates.
