It's a very exclusive club, and here is its world map. The club of heads of state wanted for international crimes. There are ten of them. At the top of this \u2018wanted list\u2019 are those accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) - such as the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But the ICC is also looking for Sudan's Omar el-Bechir, and its prosecutor has also filed arrest warrants for the leaders of Burma and the Taliban. The French justice system is looking for former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, who has taken refuge in Russia, while the Special Criminal Court of the Central African Republic is looking for his counterpart Fran\u00e7ois Boziz\u00e9, who is in exile in Guinea Bissau. The former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has fled to India to escape justice in her country, the Gambian Yahya Jammeh is in exile in Equatorial Guinea, and the Ethiopian Mengistu Haile Mariam is in Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
