Warrant of arrest

Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of murder, outrages upon personal dignity, cruel treatment, torture, sexual violence and rape. The crimes were allegedly committed in relation to events in the city of Tarhunah, namely during the operation “Flood of Dignity”. The Al Shaqaqiat tribe, also known as the Kani family, emerged as an influential local power in Tarhunah who controlled the police and local armed forces until around 5 June 2020 when the Kaniayt (a group of seven Al Kani brothers) lost its control over Tarhunah after having taking a role in the fights between the Tripoli based forces of the Government of National Accord and the then Libyan National Army based in Benghazi to which the Kaniyat were affiliated and integrated for a certain period of time.

Allegedly responsible for war crimes of murder, torture and outrages upon personal dignity, committed in Benghazi or surrounding areas, in Libya, on or before 3 June 2016 until on or about 17 July 2017.

Allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute).

There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes, (i) for having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and/or through others (article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute), and (ii) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility (article 28(b) of the Rome Statute).
