British Official: Those who commit atrocities in Sudan will face international court |
2005-10-02 |
Those who commit atrocities in the troubled Darfur region of Sudan will face trial by the International Criminal Court, a senior British official said Saturday. "The government of Sudan has should be under no doubt whatsoever, we(the international community) are serious about our commitment to support the International Criminal Court," International Development Secretary Hilary Benn said. "It is doing its work and those who are committing these crimes will in the end be brought to account." The United Nations has condemned a militia attack on a refugee camp in western Darfur this week that killed 34 men. |

#1 I think it should have read, Americans, British or Jews who commit atrocities in Sudan will face international court. All others can use the ICC to get an excuse and a pardon. |
