The International Court of Justice in the Hague has indicted the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, of war crimes. To be specific, the stealing of Ukraine’s children. There are a few things to be said about this. The first is that, like the United States, Russia is not a signatory of the Rome Protocol. Therefore, the ICC has no jurisdiction. So this is far more symbolic.
