"The Assembly strongly condemns the measures taken by the Russian Federation in retaliation for the arrest warrants issued by the ICC against Vladimir Putin, Maria Lvova-Belova, Sergei Kobylash, Viktor Sokolov, Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov, notably for the unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children, and the criminal prosecution, conviction in absentia and sentencing of the former Prosecutor and eight judges of the ICC, the placing of ICC officials on a ‘wanted list’, the threats of missile strikes against the seat of the Court in The Hague made by the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, and cyberattacks and espionage attempts against the ICC. These acts constitute a deliberate attempt to obstruct the course of international justice and are themselves capable of amounting to offences against the administration of justice under Article 70 of the Rome Statute."
