Hun Xen opposes ICC’s Bashir indictment

PM opposes ICC’s Bashir indictment

PRIME Minister Hun Sen has condemned the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing a warrant for the arrest of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, telling a Sudanese official the indictment could “adversely affect” peace negotiations in the war-torn African nation.

Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that during a meeting last week, Hun Sen told Sudanese Special Envoy and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Ahmet Karti Mohamed that he shared Khartoum’s opposition to the indictment of its head of state.

“During the meeting, Samdech Hun Sen said that the warrant issued by the ICC for the purpose of arresting Omar al-Bashir, an incumbent president, undermines the peace negotiation process,” Koy Kuong said Tuesday.

In March 2009, the ICC, which sits in The Hague, issued an arrest warrant for Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for atrocities allegedly committed in the Darfur region. He is the first sitting head of state ever to be indicted by the ICC.

Hun Sen’s comments, which were reported Tuesday by the Non-Aligned Movement News Network, are similar to his earlier criticisms of internationally-backed legal proceedings underway in Cambodia – in particular, the proposed increase in the number of former Khmer Rouge figures who could be tried by the Khmer Rouge tribunal. Last September, the premier warned that pursuing further indictments risked sparking civil unrest.

Anne Heindel, a legal adviser for the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, described Hun Sen’s comments on the ICC as “notable”, but said they gave no clear indication of his views on the Khmer Rouge tribunal given the many differences between the two institutions.

As a signatory of the Rome Statute of the ICC, she said, Cambodia should support its work, but she added that the efficacy of the Bashir indictment – and indictments of sitting heads of state more generally – was a subject of hot debate.

“The jury’s out on whether [such indictments] contribute to peace or whether they hinder peace,” she said.

Why Hun Sen continues aligning himself with the leaders that are condemning around the world?
Why can't he just shut up?

He is dump stupip for warning to ICC . In Cambodia, you can warn ICC because his Boss (Viet) stand behind him but in Sudan no one stand behins Bashir. The only what he schose is WAR, because the former KR like war killing innocence people and cheat them, every one know what kind of brutal kind of KR against innocence people and also he cheat the khmer young generation who was born after 1980.

May be HS know something that the ICC doesn't. After all, he is the one who dismantle the KR political and military structure through strategic negotiations.

How can you negotiate peace deal with the Sudanese government when you order to arrest its president!! This is stupid or what!

In negotiation, you need to give incentive to the opponent for the agreement, not to tell him that you want to put in in jail. If that is the case, why should he agree to anything. It only make him more defensive and hard headed.

Tyrant Hun Sen of Cambodia protects tyrant Omar al-Bashir of Sudan! What is wrong with this logic? Nothing.

IF Mr Sam Rainsy defends Omar al-Basir, then people would say "no way!"

Dictator Hun Sen belongs to the elite club of world tyrants--that is clearly in the world history book and no one disputes that.

KHMER Angkor.

There is only one solution for peace. To archieve this goal, the world must arrest all criminals. THe criminals are keeping the world at war and unproductive. Negociation with criminals will give criminals to buy times and seeking more weapons for bigger damages.
