During his visit, he also plans to meet personally with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 24 to discuss issues around Ukraine. It is worth noting that on March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. Such a meeting not only undermines the authority of the ICC and the inviolability of international justice but also calls into question the values of the UN.</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq commented, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">There’s a meeting with great importance for the work of the United Nations, with the BRICS countries representing about half the world’s population</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, the visit of the UN Secretary-General to Russia is not only politically controversial but also devalues the fundamental principles that should guide the UN, the organization that Mr. Guterres heads. This is especially true of Mr. Guterres’ personal meeting with Mr. Putin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">We condemn such actions on the part of Mr. Guterres because, in 2013, guidelines were adopted to regulate possible meetings of UN Secretariat staff with individuals subject to arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> The Secretary-General transmitted these guidelines to the President of the General Assembly and the President of the Security Council.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to the UN guidelines:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">1) Contacts between United Nations officials and persons who are the subject of warrants of arrest issued by the International Criminal Court should be limited to those which are strictly required for carrying out essential United Nations mandated activities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">2) The presence of United Nations officials at any ceremonial or similar occasion that is attended by any such person should be avoided. Standard courtesy calls should not be made.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">3) When contacts are absolutely necessary, an attempt should be made, where possible, to interact with individuals of the same group or party who are not the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The commentary on these principles states that “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">as a general rule, there should be no meetings between United Nations officials and persons who are the subject of warrants of arrest issued by the International Criminal Court</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">“.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">There is only one exception: “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">in exceptional circumstances, to interact directly with a person who is the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant. Where this is an imperative for the performance of essential United Nations mandated activities, direct interaction with such a person may take place to the extent necessary only</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">“.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">At the same time, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">the decision as to whether contact is strictly required in order to carry out United Nations mandated activities […] is to be made in the light of a careful consideration of all the circumstances</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Given the public statements of the UN representatives, there is no attempt to justify Mr. Guterres’ visit to Russia and his meeting with Putin as part of “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">essential UN mandated activities</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">.” There is also no information that the decision to visit and meet was made “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">after careful consideration of all the circumstances</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">.” </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">On the contrary, the available information suggests that the UN representatives used a general explanation, in particular, that it was of great importance to the UN since “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">the</span></i> <i><span style="font-weight: 400">BRICS countries represent about half of the world’s population</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">.” This general justification does not in any way take into account the presence at the event of a person accused by the International Criminal Court of committing war crimes. Thus, Mr. António Guterres’ visit can be regarded as ignorance of the provision that “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">the presence of United Nations officials at any ceremonial or similar occasion that is attended by any such person should be avoided</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">“.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Another requirement, which allows a meeting between a UN representative and a person subject to an arrest warrant, was also ignored, namely: “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">in order to address fundamental issues affecting the ability of the United Nations and its various offices, programmes and funds to carry out their mandates in the country concerned, including vital matters of security</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">“.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Among the undoubtedly important topics of the planned meeting – Ukraine, Gaza and freedom of navigation in the Black Sea</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> – there are no topics that “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">affect the ability of the United Nations and its various offices, programmes and funds to carry out their mandates in the country concerned</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">,” i.e., Russia. Thus, this further undermines the legitimacy of Mr. Guterres’ visit to Russia and his meeting with the Russian president.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It is important to note that in 2004, the Relationship Agreement between the United Nations and the International Criminal Court was adopted.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> This agreement requires the UN to refrain from any action that could impede the activities of the Court and its various organs, including the Prosecutor, or undermine the authority of their decisions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The personal meeting of Mr. António Guterres with Mr. Putin and their discussion of the war in Ukraine, in the context of which the ICC issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin (for the war crimes of illegal deportation of children and illegal transfer of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation),</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> may undermine the authority of the decisions of the Prosecutor and the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Court.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Finally, the 2016 UN Manual on Cooperation with the ICC establishes a procedure according to which “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">the UN Office of Legal Affairs informs the Prosecutor of the Court and the President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute in advance of such meetings. The letter informs the Court of the meeting and explains why it is considered necessary</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">“.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> It is currently unknown whether such notification was made in advance and how the need for such a meeting was substantiated.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It is also worth mentioning the meeting between the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Virginia Gamba, with the Russian Federation Commissioner on Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, in May 2023.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> This incident caused a wave of criticism due to its unjustified nature.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> Todd Buchwald, Special Coordinator for Global Criminal Justice, noted that the UN representative could have become a witness in the ICC case, as Maria Lvova-Belova could have made statements during the meetings that would have been relevant to the investigation. According to the Relationship Agreement with the ICC, the UN is obliged to cooperate, including by providing information or documents at the request of the Court or the Office of the Prosecutor</span><span style="font-weight: 400">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">In general, the UN Secretary-General, as the highest official of the organization, is not an independent figure and reflects the common position of the member states. Official visits and meetings with persons who are subject to an ICC arrest warrant on charges of committing an international crime appear to be a demonstrative disregard for the decisions of international justice bodies. This is an apparent violation of the rules of the organization itself and indicates the normalization of contacts with potential war criminals at the international level.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Such actions look especially cynical in light of the activities of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, which in its periodic reports inform about systemic and numerous cases of serious human rights violations against civilians in Ukraine during the conflict and call on eyewitnesses to report these facts to UN representatives. Thus, visits to Russia at Putin’s invitation and official meetings with him undermine the credibility of the UN as an international moral guide, as well as a reliable and neutral mediator in achieving a sustainable peace based on justice and the rule of law.</span></p> <p><strong>In this regard, we consider it necessary to take the following steps:</strong></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We call on the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and the relevant UN bodies to react to the current situation and take measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We call on the International Criminal Court and the Office of the Prosecutor to react to this visit and meeting as undermining the credibility of the ICC’s decisions and the investigation of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, which threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We hereby request the Office of the ICC Prosecutor, in accordance with Article 18 of the Relationship Agreement between the United Nations and the ICC, to request from Mr. António Guterres any information that was obtained during his meeting with the suspect (Vladimir Putin) and may be useful to the investigation.</span></li> </ol> <a href="#pop_up_subscribe_petition" class="subscribe_petition open-pop-link">SIGN</a> <div class="subscribe_list"> <ul></ul></div> <div class="article_functions flex_row"> <div class="article_tags"> </div> <div class="article_share flex_row"> <a onclick="social_share('fb')" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="share_facebook"></span> </a> <a onclick="social_share('tw')" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="share_twitter"></span> </a> <a onclick="social_share('telegram')" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="share_telegram"></span> </a> <a href="mailto:?subject=Statement on the meeting of UN Secretary-General António Guterres with Vladimir Putin.
