The failure of the Mongolian government to comply with the mandatory ICC arrest warrant for Putin is a serious blow to the International Criminal Court and the international criminal law system, the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.

According to him, Mongolia allowed “an accused criminal to escape justice, thereby sharing responsibility for his war crimes.”

Tykhy also added that they will work with partners to ensure that this has consequences for Ulaanbaatar.
