By mutual agreement of all parties in the North Gauteng High Court, the matter will no longer proceed since Putin won’t be visiting South Africa.

CAPE TOWN – The Democratic Alliance has forced government’s hand into committing to obligations to execute a warrant of arrest for Russian President Vladimir Putin, as issued by the International Criminal Court .

The DA launched the application to clarify government’s obligations to execute a warrant of arrest for Putin as a signatory to the Rome Statute of the ICC, and to avoid a repeat of a situation in 2015 involving former Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir. The Department of Justice's director general informed the court that he had since forwarded a request for an arrest warrant to be issued to the national director of public prosecutions.
