President Vladimir Putin: Russian President Vladimir Putin recently arrived in Mongolia on a two-day visit. His visit has attracted international attention, especially due to the arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC). This warrant has been issued due to allegations of war crimes in Ukraine, especially the illegal deportation of children. Putin's welcome to Mongolia, which is a member of the ICC, is generating strong opposition, and many human rights organizations and countries have demanded Mongolia to arrest him.

However, the Mongolian government has not yet given any official response to this demand and Putin has been welcomed with respect. During Putin's visit, several important agreements were signed between Mongolia and Russia, which will further strengthen the relations between the two countries. Mongolia's situation is complicated because it has a legal responsibility to comply with the ICC order, but it also has deep political and economic ties with Russia.

Now, the eyes of the international community and human rights organizations are on Mongolia to see what steps it will take in this difficult situation. Will he follow the orders of the ICC, or give priority to his relations with Russia? It will be interesting to see how Mongolia maintains balance in this situation.

Many countries demanded arrest

Many countries are also reacting to the demand for Putin's arrest. Many countries have appealed to Mongolia to follow the ICC's order. On the contrary, Putin has continued his journey without worrying about this arrest. At the same time, Putin's visit to Mongolia and the demand for his arrest have once again created a stir in international politics. Now it will be interesting to see what steps Mongolia takes in this situation? Will it follow the ICC's order, or will it keep Putin safe in its country?

Does Mongolia have the legal right to arrest Putin?

Mongolia has some legal rights to arrest Vladimir Putin, but there are many complications with it. Mongolia is facing an uncomfortable situation due to the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Putin.

Legal rights

Being a member of the ICC: Mongolia is a member of the ICC and under this it has a legal responsibility to comply with the warrant issued by the ICC. According to the rules of the ICC, member countries should arrest those individuals against whom the court has issued a warrant.

International law: Under international law, if a country is a member of the ICC and a person comes to its territory against whom there is an arrest warrant, then it has the right to arrest him.

Political relations between Russia and Mongolia

But Mongolia also has some political compulsions. Mongolia and Russia have very close political and economic relations. During Putin's visit to Mongolia, the two countries have signed several important agreements, which Mongolia needs to maintain its relations with Russia. Mongolia is under pressure from the international community to comply with the ICC's order, but at the same time it also has to keep in mind its national interests and relations with Russia.
