ICC Second Arrest Warrant for Genocide against Sudanese President Al Bashir

Note from Theary Seng: The permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) has jurisdiction over Cambodia as we have ratified the Rome Statute establishing this ICC and Cambodia is an ICC Member State. After the genocidal spree and mayhem ended, some of the Rwandan genocidiares were surprised that international law could pierced their nation's sovereignty and held them accountable before their own people and the international community. I believe that perpetrators of massive human rights abuse (here in Cambodia and elsewhere) -- many thinking themselves "good people" -- are so lost in their immediate frenzy to fully grasp the long piercing reach of international law. The ICC and other international legal instruments should make these abusers think twice... especially as certain international crimes do not have statute of limitations... hence, even 40 years from now, international law can still hunt them down. ABOVE NATIONS, HUMANITY is an excerpt from my law paper in advocating for this ICC. - www.thearyseng.com

Case: The Prosecutor v. Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir

Today the ICC announced that ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I issued a second arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir for three counts of genocide committed against the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups. It is the first arrest warrant issued by the ICC for counts of genocide. This second arrest warrant is added to the previous one issued in March 2009 against Al Bashir for crimes against humanity and war crimes. Since the issuance of the arrest warrant, the Sudanese government has openly and consistently refused to cooperate with the Court.
