South Africa<\/a> this week suggested it may grant Russian President Vladimir Putin diplomatic immunity to attend an August summit for the BRICS economic bloc despite an outstanding warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

The International Criminal Court \u2013 which South Africa is party to \u2013 issued the warrant<\/a> for Putin\u2019s arrest in March for war crimes committed in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Theoretically, any ICC member nation Putin travels to would be compelled to seize the Kremlin chief, though South Africa is apparently willing to skirt its international obligations, according to Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Russia attaches enormous importance to the development of this format of integration. And Russia will take part in this summit at the proper level,” he said during a Tuesday press conference. “Of course we count as a bare minimum on partner countries in such an important format not being guided by such illegal decisions.”<\/p>\n

Russia has increasingly looked to bolster its ties with countries like South Africa as relations with the West remain tense amid the ongoing war in Ukraine \u2013 a move officials have increasingly warned could garner Moscow diplomatic sway.<\/a><\/p>\n

A statement by Clayson Monyela, head of South Africa’s public diplomacy, on Tuesday said it was “standard” practice for Cape Town<\/a> and “all countries” to issue immunity for officials attending international conferences “irrespective of the level of participation.”<\/p>\n

“The immunities are for the conference and not for specific individuals. They are meant to protect the conference<\/a> and its attendees from the jurisdiction of the host country for the duration of the conference,” he said.<\/p>\n

Though Monyela also added that “these immunities do not override any warrant that may have been issued by any international tribunal against any attendee of the conference.”<\/p>\n

It remains unclear if Putin will actually be able to attend the summit set for later this summer, though South Africa has reportedly been looking into the wording of the Rome Statute \u2013 the ICC\u2019s establishing charter \u2013 for any loopholes that would\u00a0allow Putin to visit South Africa without the necessity to then arrest him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa established an inter-ministerial committee to look into the language of the statute and how it must be applied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reports surfaced in late April suggesting that South Africa was considering leaving the ICC after the international court issued the arrest warrant for Putin, though Ramaphosa immediately walked back this threat, calling it an “error in a comment” made by his ruling party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“South Africa remains a signatory to the Rome Statute and will continue to campaign for equal and consistent application of international law,” he said in a statement on April 25.<\/p>\n
