When warrants are served against civilians, they find them and arrest them. The whereabouts of war criminals are usually known, as they often appear publicly, so are they not arrested in the same way as civies?

The United Nation’s Security Council is empowered to enforce rulings by the International Court of Justice, but the International Criminal Court has absolutely no enforcement arm. Signatory nations that agree to work with the ICC can enforce warrants and rulings on their own citizen, but if the “Defendant” is a citizen of a nation that doesn’t recognize the ICC…it’s barely more than a strongly worded letter of protest.
