On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, stemming from Russian deportation of Ukrainian children. But like other international institutions, the ICC has no direct enforcement capability. Given that, does the warrant mean anything at all? This video explores some of the more subtle consequences, including media coverage, travel restrictions, problems with going into exile, and deterring lower-level bureaucrats.

Much of this video is based on research from Daniel Krcmaric’s book “The Justice Dilemma”, available here: https://amzn.to/3Jx9LBA
