The realm of international law has long been compared to the Wild West, because there is no global sheriff. But regardless of whether Russia’s president ends up in handcuffs, the International Criminal Court’s indictment of him is a big step in the right direction.

On March 17, after years of being mired in controversy and crisis, the International Criminal Court surprised the world by formally indicting Putin and issuing a warrant for his arrest.
