Comment on Bashir’s holiday plans by Sean Brooks

Are African countries that are state parties to the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court playing a shell game with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir? Since the issuance of his arrest warrant by the ICC in March 2009, Bashir has repeatedly received invitations from African leaders to attend summits and conferences that eventually result in the dispatching of non-fugitives of international justice to serve in Bashir’s stead. Were these recent invitations from countries like Uganda and Nigeria in good faith? Or have there been pre-arranged deals cut that a public invitation would be extended with the understanding that Bashir would not accept them?

I have written more about this at: http://www.seanbrooks.net/2009/10/a-shell-game-with-bashir/.

Comment on Dead presidents count by America, the ICC and the problem of image « Blake Evans-Pritchard’s Weblog

[...] As I have written elsewhere in this journal, one of the significant problems with the Bush administration (okay – there were a whole slew of others, too) is that he had a big image problem in the Arab world. See the problem that my students had with him. And then see the euphoria that gripped Sudan upon news of Obama’s election. [...]

Ocambo: Shame Shame Shame!!!

For me as a Sudanese this man is defaming the
international JUSTICE!! Unfortunately he did not respect himself or the law that he is speaking about:
Imagine that two Sudanese committed war crimes in Drafur, one of them bearing only Sudanese nationality and the other bearing both Sudanese and American nationalities.. If they were brought before the custodian of international justice Mr. Ocambo he will simply release the half American only for his affiliation and punish the mere Sudanese of course for the crime of being Sudanese!! This was blankly stipulated in the Security Council Resolution!!
The Council, as a political organization, may not pay much care to justice parameters such as parity before the law.. But what abour Mr. Ocambo? does not he feel shame of what he is doing and of being a mean tool in the hands of the west who block some and present others before what they are calling “International justice”?? Shame Shame Shame!!!
