A Pakistani court is extending a pause in the effort to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a graft case.
Violence erupted in Lahore on Tuesday when about 1,000 supporters of Khan clashed with police when they tried to arrest the former premier at his house in the upscale area of Zaman Park. Instead, he asked why Khan resisted when officers went to his house to arrest him. Khan also posed for cameras seated at a long table, showing off piles of spent tear gas shells he said had been collected from around his home. Despite the order, however, police and paramilitary rangers deployed for Khan’s arrest were not immediately withdrawn. The decision is a reprieve for Khan, who was due to be arrested a few hours earlier. But, he said, Khan’s supporters started throwing stones at officers, who were unarmed and only carrying batons.

"The ICC is doing its part of work as a court of law. in prejudice of Ukrainian children." "This is an historic decision which will lead to historic accountability," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. "Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and bears no obligations under it." The court has no police force of its own to enforce warrants. The judges issued arrest warrants.
The Russian president is wanted by the ICC for alleged war crimes during his Ukraine invasion.
He noted that the US is not signed up to the ICC, "but I think it makes a very strong point". However Russian opposition leaders welcomed the announcement. When asked about the ICC's move, US President Joe Biden said "well, I think it's justified". It also accused him of failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported. The ICC relies on the cooperation of governments to arrest people, and Russia is "obviously not going to cooperate in this respect", Jonathan Leader Maynard, a lecturer in international politics at King's College London, told the BBC. [In a statement](https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-issuance-arrest-warrants-against-president-vladimir-putin), the ICC said it had reasonable grounds to believe Mr Putin committed the criminal acts directly, as well as working with others.
Judges at ICC accuse Russian president of being responsible for war crimes committed during Ukraine invasion.
“This is a historic decision for Ukraine and the entire system of international law.” “This is a historic decision which will lead to historic accountability,” he said in his nightly video address. “This makes Putin a pariah. “Ukraine has accepted the ICC twice – in 2014 and then in 2015.” Nevertheless, the spokesperson emphasised that the ICC decision was “reached independently”, separate from the US’s own conclusions. How are other countries going to deal with him?” Bays added.

In a statement on Friday, the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, said: “Incidents identified by my office include the deportation of at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children’s care homes.” We cannot allow children to be treated as if they are the spoils of war.” “I don’t think we were expecting to see him travel to France or Ukraine anytime soon, but he’s got to be careful,” Brody said. The US was more guarded in its response. I think this is what international prosecutors have failed to do over the last 20 years, so this is a good focus, as it’s one of the worst crimes being committed.” So I think it’s good to see the prosecutor focusing on children’s rights. But the Russian leader will face limits on his freedom of travel to the ICC’s 123 member states, further deepening his isolation. “My office alleges that these acts, amongst others, demonstrate an intention to permanently remove these children from their own country,” Khan said.

Most countries on Earth – 123 of them – are parties to the treaty, but there are very large and notable exceptions, including Russia.

And we continue to work.” “In the criminal proceedings being investigated by our law enforcement officers, more than 16,000 forced deportations of Ukrainian children by the occupier have already been recorded.
