US concerned with UN official's meeting with Russian wanted by ICC

STORY: “We are deeply concerned that a senior UN diplomat met with a fugitive subject to an ICC arrest warrant for committing war crimes against children," Miller said at a press briefing. "Such conduct undermines our shared commitment to protecting children in conflict zones."

Maria Lvova-Belova, who is accused by the International Criminal Court's prosecutor of the war crime of deporting hundreds of Ukrainian children to Russia, said on her website last week that she held a working meeting with Virginia Gamba, the special representative of the UN secretary-general for children and armed conflict.
