#ICC arrest warrants for #Putin and five other #Russians accused of war crimes in #Ukraine will stay in place even if #Ukraine peace talks succeed, #ICC prosecutors said.

In an interview with #Reuters, deputy prosecutors #Mame_Mandiaye_Niang and #Nazhat_Shameem_Khan said a #United_Nations Security Council resolution would be required to suspend court-issued warrants.

"If there is a peace deal which then leads the Security Council to ask us to defer an investigation, then that's a matter - that's a political process for the Security Council. But as far as we're concerned...at the end of the day, it does not stop the way that justice is delivered," Deputy Prosecutor #Khan said, citing the court's founding #Rome_Statute.

Deputy Prosecutor #Niang added that apart from the bracket mentioned in respect of the Security Council route, "we are obligated to observe our statute, which does not give weight to some of those political arrangements."
