Why is vladimir putin not arrested by icc

Vladimir Putin is not arrested by the International Criminal Court (ICC) because Russia does not recognize the court's jurisdiction and will not extradite its President. Russia is not a state party to the Rome Statute, making the ICC warrant effectively unenforceable within Russian territory.

Sovereign Immunity and Non Cooperation

As President of Russia since 2012, Vladimir Putin maintains sovereign immunity under Russian law. Russia consistently rejects the ICC's authority and any obligation to cooperate with its warrants. Given his current influence score of 100/100 and Russia's refusal to extradite, the warrant carries no legal weight within Russia.

International Dynamics

The ICC lacks its own enforcement mechanisms and relies on member states to execute arrest warrants. While a warrant restricts Putin's travel to ICC member states, his high international engagement continues, as seen by GeoGazet tracking of "Modi implores tense Putin to end Ukraine war." His top connections, including Russia, Ukraine, and India, demonstrate ongoing diplomatic activity despite the warrant.
