The South African government has elected to consider allowing Vladimir Putin's remote attendance to the 2023 BRICS summit ion an effort to navigate the bureaucratic headache that the Russian leader's presence risks due to the warrant of arrest issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his capture, News24 reports.
According to City Press, a hybrid sitting is under consideration for the summit which would allow multiple leaders, including Putin, to attend the event virtually.
A government official said: "The Ramaphosa administration is the one that revoked the earlier decision to leave the ICC and decided the country would stay. So they can't now go against their own decision by allowing Putin to come. They would not want to take decisions that might harm the interest of the country in the long term. South Africa does not want to be a pariah state."
Per the ICC's jurisdiction under the Rome Statue, South Africa is obliged to arrest Putin should he enter the country.

Corrected Title:
South Africa: Putin May Join South Africa’s BRICS Summit Virtually
LOL!
The Russian government should just emulate the American government, and inform the ICC that they'll use military action to nullify any seizure of their citizens.
Translation:
We'll gun you down like the dogs that you are, if you lay a hand on any of our people.
BTW - The US treats the ICC like the irrelevant clown car that they are.
All the ICC is doing is admitting they are in on the take.
The USA has no business in Ukraine.
Maybe a little demonstration pour encourager les autres ? 
Africa stronk! Putin stronk!
Our thread host hasn't commented on the fact that the United States will terminate ICC wannabes with extreme prejudice if they come sniffing around our people.
"When in the Hague, do as the Americans would do, Russia."
Still no comment on "the wasting disease" that would afflict the ICC if they decide to interfere with American citizens, clownboy?
It’s too funny that your Putin can only travel to Iran, Belarus and the Craphole-istans. He did this to himself by invading Ukraine.
That is a strange post.
What in the world does that post have to do with Joe Biden leading a world-wide laundry machine of USA debt?
BTW - you're also the best one-handed keyboarder on FR.
Just make sure that the keyboard protector is always ON.
Tell Putin to tell South Africa to stop burning white farmers alive and confiscating their land.
We've seen how well that works out, Ukie shill.
LOL, Putin can’t even attend his own summit. What a joke.
Why is a fake “warrant” from some phony “court” a “big dilemma” for SA - or anyone else?
The ICC’s response to that would just be “try it”, and Russian would not do a thing, because to attack the ICC would be to attack NATO, which Russia is far too weak to do.
