Stubborn Putin sets it up for South Africa ahead of the Brics meeting
Russia insists that Vladimir Putin will be personally present when the so-called Brics countries meet in South Africa later this year. It puts South Africa in a very difficult situation because the country is obliged to arrest him in accordance with the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant, says Nobuo Hayashi, assistant lecturer in international law at the Norwegian Defense Academy, to DN.
He says that very strong condemnations from the West are to be expected if South Africa does not arrest Putin if he comes to the country. At the same time, he believes that Putin is keen to actually travel, to show that not the whole host is against him.
- If I were Putin, I would insist on going there and challenge South Africa to arrest me, says Hayashi.
