Reflections on Sudan, Bashir and the ICC
The International Criminal Court ("ICC") is due to decide this week whether it will issue a warrant for the arrest and prosecution of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur. Bashir is accused of being leader of the government responsible for arming and training the janjaweed militia and ordering them to attack members of the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa tribes in Darfur. Bashir’s pretext for the attacks has always been ‘counterinsurgency’: he claims that the measures are part of a campaign to defend the country against Darfuri rebel groups who took up arms against the Sudanese government in 2003. The Prosecutor of the ICC, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, calls it genocide. On the blog africalive.

No peace without justice?
"No peace without justice!", or so the lofty slogan of the movement for international criminal justice goes. Thus the State parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the newest and boldest entrant on the scene, declared themselves (amongst other things): Mindful that during this century millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity… and Determined to put an end to impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes and thus to contribute to the prevention of such crimes… and therefore Resolved to guarantee lasting respect for and the enforcement of international justice.
