Earlier, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation Maria Zabolotskaya noted that the ICC effectively legitimized the destruction of Libya in the aftermath of the 2011 NATO intervention.
Russia has repeatedly said that the ICC is a West-funded body with biased agenda.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov previously pointed out that former ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan had requested resources from Western sponsors immediately after the special military operation began — funds earmarked specifically for investigating Russia.
"In other words, they were openly funding the trial of preselected defendants... In any national system, this would have been considered outright bribery of the courts — a paid criminal trial," Lavrov emphasized.
