This is the best summary I could come up with:


In March, the court made headlines when it issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on suspicion of illegally deporting children from Ukraine.

Highly sensitive documents at the ICC could include anything from criminal evidence to names of protected witnesses, though the court did not disclose what part of its systems had been accessed.

A spokesperson for the Dutch Justice Ministry confirmed the country’s National Cyber Security Centre was supporting the investigation but declined further comment.

The president of the ICC’s bar association, Marie-Hélène Proulx, said lawyers for defendants and victims had been impacted “in the same manner as the court’s staff” by unspecified security measures taken in response to the incident.

The Dutch intelligence agency (AIVD) said in its 2022 annual report that the ICC was “of interest to Russia because it is investigating possible Russian war crimes in Georgia and Ukraine”.

In August 2023, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that cyber attacks could be part of future war crimes investigations.


The original article contains 480 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
