ICC to Issue Arrest Warrant for Sudanese President

HeadlineFeb 12, 2009

The International Criminal Court has reportedly decided to issue a warrant for the arrest of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan’s Darfur region. Bashir would become the first sitting head of state to be charged by the Hague-based court with war crimes. The official decision is expected to be announced within two weeks. Sudan’s UN ambassador said that the charges are politically motivated and that his government will never surrender Bashir for prosecution.
