In December 2023, a Mongolian judge became an ICC judge for the first time, Charter 97 says. President of Mongolia boasted at the time that it was “a sign of the country's growing and strengthening reputation in the international arena and the confidence of international organizations in Mongolia.”
◾️ This will be the first visit by a Russian dictator to a country that has ratified the Rome Statute.
If Putin is going there, it means he has received guarantees that he will not be arrested. One of the purposes of the visit will be to show the world that Putin is above the system of international law.
A precedent will be set when a country that is a signatory to the Rome Statute of the ICC does not implement an arrest warrant that is issued by the ICC. This is an example to other countries - you can act like Mongolia.
◾️ Another purpose of the visit is to participate in celebrations marking the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of Soviet and Mongolian troops over Japanese forces on the Khalkhin-Gol River. Putin wants to show off to China and demonstrate to Japan that Russia can cause a lot of problems.
◾️ For Russia, Mongolia is an important country in terms of natural resources. Mongolia can help Russia with bypassing sanctions and with trade with China.

Imagine if Putin is arrested in Mongolia.
That would stop the war. Mongolia would be the country that would bring peace and forever go down in history as the great country that stopped the bloodiest dictator and murderer in the history of humankind.
Sometimes in history, things happen that you never expect. Come on, Mongolia! You'll get a lot if you show courage. It would be the greatest history lesson. And not just for Putin.
