Tells Khartoum to Cooperate With International Criminal Court
(New York, June 16, 2008) – The UN Security Council’s presidential statement criticizing Sudan’s failure to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) signals international impatience with impunity for Darfur war crimes suspects, Human Rights Watch said today. The presidential statement, issued this morning, is the first time that the Security Council has formally taken action on Sudan’s failure to comply with the ICC arrest warrants for two Sudanese suspects.

“The unanimous Security Council statement sends the message that Khartoum cannot obstruct justice by recycling unkept promises to accept peacekeepers,” said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch’s International Justice Program. “Sudan must take real action on both justice and peacekeeping.”
