🗣️ 'Putin will not be put on trial in the Hague anytime soon. But if and when he is, international judges – the court has no jury – should convict and sentence him to life in prison, their strongest punishment' | Writes Geoffrey Robertson
It may seem a hypothetical too far to imagine the trial of the Russian leader – an exercise in wish-fulfilment at a time when barbaric war crimes in Ukraine have sickened the civilised world. But Vladimir Putin, at 67, could live another 30 years, and who knows what may happen in that time. It took 20 years to bring the butchers of the Balkans – Mladic and Karadzic – to justice, and Putin’s crimes are so serious that he should never be given immunity from prosecution.
