THE HAGUE, Netherlands (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Confusion and denial has marked the recent announcement by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of the issuance of a warrant of arrest against Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes related to the Ukraine conflict.

Almost immediately, the ICC denied that it has issued such a warrant of arrest. The denial came from the International Cricket Council, the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Code Council and the International Convention Center Durban.

So far, no denial from the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
