Judges at the International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for three suspects, including two Russian nationals, dating from the 2008 conflict in Georgia.

Judges said in a statement prosecutors had demonstrated "reasonable grounds to believe that each of these three suspects bears responsibility for war crimes."

The charges relate to mistreatment of civilians in the South Ossetia region of Georgia.
