A sovereign State has every right to defend itself against aggressive assaults on its sovereignty & territorial integrity. Nothing in the U.N. Charter impairs the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence.

Dumb hypothetical question for #lawfedi. How does an ICC arrest warrant interact with the Vienna Convention (on diplomatic relations)? @dovjacobs has a good article talking about the Rome Statute and the Vienna Convention (on the law of Treaties), but I didn't turn up anything specifically relating to how the ICC's authority would (does?) trump immunity.

Wow. Today the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova (in charge of unlawful deportation of children).
