Mongolia was meant to arrest Russia's President Putin last night. It didn't, and now it's in trouble

There’s nothing remarkable about a recent visit by a country’s leader to Mongolia. The leader is expected to meet Mongolia’s president, hold talks on developing bilateral ties, and attend a gala reception. However, what is unusual is that Mongolia, as a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), did not arrest the visiting leader who is subject to an international arrest warrant issued by the ICC. This move has caused concern at the ICC and in Ukraine, which was invaded by the leader’s country previously. Legal consequences are expected for Mongolia’s defiance of its obligations to the ICC.
