Sudan: The Arab League rejects the ICC
By African Bulletin on July 15, 2010
The Arab League Secretary General, Amr Moussa, rejected the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue a second arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al-Bashir for genocide, saying the decision will make the situation in Sudan more uncertain.
Mr. Moussa told reporters there were doubts about the timing of the ICC to issue a new arrest warrant against the Sudanese president.
The Chamber of the International Criminal Court considers that there are reasonable grounds to believe criminal responsibility on three domains of genocide against ethnic groups from the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit: genocide by killing, genocide by causing serious physical or mental injuries and Genocide by deliberately inflicting, on each targeted group, calculated conditions of life to bring that group to its physical destruction.
This second arrest warrant does not replace or revoke any case in the first arrest warrant issued against Mr. Al-Bashir on March 4, 2009, which remains in force.
