The International Criminal Court's Decision to Issue an Arrest Warrant
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev described the warrant as toilet paper. The ICC has been an important tool of international justice since its formation in 2002. It was set up to try people responsible for the worst possible crimes, like genocide and war crimes. An investigation starts after a case is referred to the court by the United Nations Security Council or by one of the countries that is a member of the ICC.
