It would be up to Brazil's judiciary to decide whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would be arrested if he attends next year's G20 summit in the South American country, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told reporters in New Delhi. "I want to know why the U.S, India and China didn't sign the ICC treaty and why our country signed it," Lula said. "If Putin decides to join (next year's summit), it is the judiciary's power to decide (on a possible arrest) and not my government," Lula said.
