Sudan not to handover citizens to ICC
2005-04-10
Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has reiterated that none of its citizens would be handed over to the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes trial.
"Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna do it."
Speaking to an army garrison in the southern province of the country, the official news agency SUNA quoted Al-Bashir as saying that the state would not hand over any suspects for trial outside of the country. Bashir also said whilst visiting the Bahr al-Ghazal province on Saturday that Sudan's own judicial system would take charge of any prosecutions.
"That's assuming there are any, of course..."

#2  The waiting list for dictator-cleansing is getting a bit long. We have Syria, Iran, Soddy Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, and now Sudan in the Middle East, and NorK and China in Asia, plus Castro and Chavez in Latin America. It looks like we're going to need about 12 more divisions if we're going to take care of these problems in a timely manner. Half of them should be Marines...

#1  Seriously, does any country have a legitimate government when it hands over its citizens to a foreign power just because they say so? This goes way beyond extradition, and becomes fealty. A government is only in power because it is the dominant power in a nation. If it loses that dominance, it loses its credibility, and should no longer rule. It has made its state a vassel.
