Putin's arrest warrant: South Africa was called a statement with the MCC "error"

President Siril Ramafos, as noted in the office, allegedly mistakenly voiced information on the status of South Africa in the International Criminal Court. From the International Criminal Court (ICS), which issued the Order of the Kremlin Volodymyr Putin, the South African Republic (South Africa) does not plan to go out, and such reports are a "mistake". The relevant statement was made by the President's office Syril Ramafos.

The report states that the explanation is the result of an error in the comment made during a briefing for the media. The President mistakenly confirmed during the pressuse information on South Africa regarding the ISS. The country remains a participant in the international institution. The post states, remaining the signator of the Roman Statute, South Africa is guided by the importance of strengthening the institutions of global management.

Accordingly, the state will work on the strengthening of Malabo, which will create a continental criminal court that will supplement the ICS as a court of last instance. South Africa also considers a legislative amendment that would consolidate the Roman Statute in national law. This applies to the provision of Article 98 of the Statute, which requires the abandonment of immunity for persons accused of the ISS from third countries, if the UN Security Council has not submitted proceedings.

It should be reminded that on April 25, at a joint press conference with Finland President Ramafos, who came to the country on a visit, said that the African National Congress has made a decision on the release of South Africa from the International Criminal Court, considering it a "reasonable step. " He explained this decision by the ISS bias about certain situations, but did not name.
