Theoretical fantasy question - if Putin could be mysteriously spirited away and dumped on the steps of the ICC, what would be the legal position? Would there be real legal jurisdiction and legal basis for trying Putin for his various naughtinesses? Pretty sure Russia would denounce the whole thing as illegal, because that's how Russia do; but what would be the actual position?

Thanks for that - good answer and gave me the magic words to look up grave breaches and command responsibility. Not sure how command responsibility would apply in Putin's case as it seems more like an officer-and-troops thing, and it seems like it would be tricky to apply to a commander in chief. Also, I'm pretty sure that he is slippery enough to have built a legal breaker/deniability in there somewhere.

Have you got links for the Germany/Spain cases? Am especially interested in the Spain one as a foreigner living there.

I read somewhere that lunar dust was a real big problem. How are you going to counter that with a folding habitat that's going to either have hinges or be fragile?

And on the mental side...well nobody's going to be that impressed with 3 months of isolation....we've all just done that. Fat pipe internet and plenty of rum, obviously. When you test on the moon how are you going to deal with gaming lag without going insane?
