Luis Moreno Ocampo, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, described the situation in Darfur as “the most dangerous in the world.” “The genocide currently occurring under the rule of Mr. Bashir leaves civilians without any protection,” he continued, and demanded the immediate implementation of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court against the Sudanese president, together with the other Governments within the court. Similarly, US-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was recently quoted saying that President Omar al-Bashir should not be welcomed in the world in the light of the charges held against him: “We’ve made our view clear that countries should not be welcoming the Sudanese president because of the charges against him” she said during her visit to Spain last week.
