Sudan

Time for Action

The International Criminal Courts have issued an arrest warrant for the defense minister of Sudan Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussein. He is being indicted on criminal charges involving genocide in Darfur. A top Sudanese official has denied the charges and a made clear they would not affect Sudan. Hussein denies the charges and refuses to hand himself over the International Criminal Court.

The International Criminal Courts already have their hands full with the President of Sudan. The issuing of a warrant for a defense minister will not have any effect on the way Sudan carries itself. The North African mentality does not take threats from Western Courts to heart as other leaders do. They find no reason to listen to the international community. If the International Criminal Courts want to score a victory in Sudan they must be ready to take action without excessive litigation. If there is an arrest warrant out then go get him. If International Justice is to be obeyed then it is time for more decisive action and less talking with corrupt States who disregard all notion of cooperation.
