The court issued a statement saying it  declined to confirm the charges against Abu Garda due to a lack of  sufficient evidence to establish substantial grounds to believe that he  could be criminally responsible for war crimes.<!--break--> He  was accused by the prosecutor Ocampo of involvement in intentional  attacks against personnel, installations and vehicles of the African  Union peacekeepers in September 2007 in Haskanita in North Darfur. The  Court of the Pre-Trial Chamber I stressed that the crimes were of  sufficient gravity since they had affected the lives of at least 10  peacekeepers, and local residents, but it caused also huge displacement  and the peacekeeping was hindered. But the evidence for the involvement  of Abu Garda was not sufficient. The court\u2019s decision was taken in  unanimity. One judge filed a separate opinion justifying his concurrence  on slightly different grounds from the other justices. The court will  consider additional evidence or will wait whether the prosecutor will  appeal against the decision. Abu Garda was the first accused person who  voluntarily appeared before the world court. Other cases are against the  government officials Ahmad Muhammad Harun (\u201cAhmad Harun\u201d) and Ali  Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (\u201cAli Kushayb\u201d) and the President of Sudan,  Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir. Last week the Appeal Court asked the  Pre-Trial Chamber to reconsider charges against President Omar al Bashir  for genocide. These charges had also been dismissed before by the  Pre-Trial Court I.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-large superwebshare-button-square superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #d52631;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share article<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(By Radio Dabanga)The rebel leader  Bahar Idriss Abu Garda, accused of killing 10 Nigerian peacekeepers in  Darfur in 2007, will not be charged anymore by the International  Criminal Court in The Hague.
