Will Russian President Vladimir Putin ever face a war crimes trial?
Although the International Criminal Court in The Hague has issued a warrant for President Vladimir Putin's arrest, that is no more than the first step in a very long process.
And secondly, although it's not unknown for trials to be held without the defendant in the dock, that's not an option here. The ICC does not conduct trials in absentia, so that avenue is closed off too.The idea of trying people for crimes against humanity pre-dates the existence of the ICC. Other bespoke bodies have sought to convict those accused of war crimes. That includes the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, a UN organisation that existed from 1993 to 2017.
