RESET: Putin pulls Russia out of International Criminal Court.

Russia in 2000 signed the Rome treaty that established the Hague-based court but never ratified it.

Putin’s decree, published on the Kremlin’s website, comes a day after the U.N. General Assembly’s human rights committee approved a resolution condemning Russia’s “temporary occupation of Crimea” and blamed Russia for rights abuses such as discrimination against some Crimean residents, such as Tatars.

I’m not sure the ICC (the U.S. is not a member) has ever accomplished much besides providing yet another international forum for grandstanding.
