Austrian human rights activists recalled that in 2019, the International Criminal Court, within the framework of President Sudan Omar al-Bashir, approved that even the heads of state had immunity. On Friday, March 24, representatives of the Federal Ministry of Justice of Austria confirmed that the country is ready to arrest and issue Russian President Vladimir Putin to the International Criminal Court if he decides to come to the country. About it reports "Ukrinform".

"Austria is a participant in the Roman Statute. This means that, like all other contractual parties, it is obliged to cooperate with the ISS: arrest orders issued by the court must be performed, and persons searched by the court must be arrested," - The issue of the publication was commented in whether Putin's Austrian authorities are arrested in the event of his arrival in their territory.

Also, the Ministry of Justice of Austria recalled that "in 2019, the International Criminal Court had already established in one problem (a case regarding President Sudan Omar al-Bashir, whose arresting warrant was issued in 2009) that immunity is not even headed by the head of state" . "No one stands over the law, which means that every crime should be fully investigated. The impunity should not be," - said representatives of the Austrian Ministry of Justice.
