With a warrant out for Vladimir Putin's arrest, here's a look at some of the other big names to be targeted by the court of last resort for the world's worst crimes.
Here's a look at the other big names to be targeted by the court of last resort for the world's worst crimes, when countries cannot or will not prosecute suspects, although not all of them have been detained.The ICC issued arrest warrants for Joseph Kony and other commanders of the Ugandan rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army in 2005 for crimes against humanity and war crimes, including the use of child soldiers and sex slaves.
He was sought by the ICC over violence that rocked Ivory Coast in 2010-2011, after Gbagbo refused to recognise the result of an election where his rival Alassane Ouattara claimed victory.The ICC issued an arrest warrant against Gbagbo in 2011 after the violence left thousands dead in the West African country, and he was transferred to a detention centre in The Hague.
His release has been announced on several occasions but confusion continues to shroud his whereabouts. Kenyatta, elected in 2013, reluctantly appeared before the court, the first sitting head of state to do so, but the prosecutor was forced to drop the case amid allegations of witness intimidation and bribery.Other special tribunals have convicted leaders accused of the most serious crimes.
