A former United Nations prosecutor has called for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Carla Del Ponte, who was the chief prosecutor of UN war crimes tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, said the arrest warrant would restrict Putin from leaving Russia and "it would be a strong signal that he has many states against him".
