【text/observer.com xiong chaoran】according to the mongolian ministry of foreign affairs, russian president vladimir putin ended his official visit to mongolia on the evening of september 3 and left mongolia by plane. as expected by the outside world, although mongolia is a party to the rome statute of the international criminal court, it has become the first party that has not executed the international criminal court (icc) arrest warrant against putin.

"'sorry, everyone, there is nothing we can do', this is the message from the mongolian government." on september 3rd local time, the european version of politico (politico.eu) disclosed a statement provided to it by a mongolian government spokesperson, explaining mongolia's position.

“mongolia imports 95% of its petroleum products and more than 20% of its electricity from our immediate neighbours, which have previously suffered interruptions due to technical reasons. this supply is essential to ensure our survival and that of our people.” the spokesman added: “mongolia has always pursued a policy of neutrality in all its foreign relations, as shown in our recorded statements to date.”

the foundation for the establishment of the icc is the rome statute of the international criminal court, which came into force on july 1, 2002. on march 17 last year, the icc issued an arrest warrant for putin, accusing him of "war crimes" and illegally deporting children from ukraine to russia. this means that the 123 member states of the international criminal court are obliged to arrest putin, and if putin sets foot on the territory of any member state, the member state should transfer him to the hague for trial.
