Original Note:
The ICC chief prosecutor is not "issuing arrest warrants". ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC has applied for arrest warrants to the Pre-Trial Chamber I of the ICC. Only the judges of the Pre-Trial Chamber can issue an arrest warrant. Judgement can take months. https://how-the-icc-works.aba-icc.org/ https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-kc-applications-arrest-warrants-situation-state
