ICC prosecutor urges action to stop atrocity crimes in Sudan

2024-01-30

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor, Karim Khan, has called on the UN Security Council to take immediate action to halt the escalating violence and impunity in Sudan
Sudan

...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, warning that the country is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Addressing the Security Council from Chad where he visited Sudanese refugees on Monday, Khan presented compelling evidence to support his assertion that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

"We are fast approaching a critical juncture," Khan emphasized, "where the violence and impunity in Sudan could spiral out of control, jeopardizing the lives of millions."

He urged all parties involved in the conflict to adhere strictly to international humanitarian law, emphasizing that "compliance cannot be treated as a ritualistic incantation."

Khan also underscored the detrimental impact of the international community’s failure to execute warrants issued by the ICC, stating that this inaction has fostered a climate of impunity that has emboldened the perpetrators of atrocities in Sudan.

"The failure to address the nettle of impunity in Darfur has allowed the garden of Sudan to become infested with weeds," he declared.

To address this pressing issue, Khan called on the Security Council to adopt a new approach to the conflict in Darfur, one that goes beyond traditional judicial measures.

"Judicial orders and court judgments alone cannot solve the problem," he asserted. "We need innovative solutions that address the underlying causes of the violence and build a lasting peace in Sudan."

The prosecutor criticized the government for its lack of cooperation with the ICC. Despite the government’s efforts to establish a focal point for the Court and issue single-entry visas, it has not responded to 35 requests for assistance, he said.

The side of the war that most international media doesn't cover.

#9 M, he knows. He just approves of what Hamas did, and is appalled they’re being punished for it by icky Jooooooooooos.

#8 Except.

Nobody is being killed simply for being a "palestinian." They are being killed for first killing and kidnapping Israelis.

There's a difference. Just because you can't / don't / don't want to see it does not mean it is not there.

#7 Wow, is someone actually trying to provide a justification for crimes against humanity? So you're saying crimes against humanity are justifiable? They're not. That's why they're crimes against humanity.

The Armenian Genocide was the first incident to ever be called a crime against all of humanity.

Further refined in the Nuremberg trials and Tokyo Trials.

Not good company to be in. Yikes.

Remove the children.
Reduce the conflict to a one generation war.

#5 Rules of War? Something made up by white colonial patriarchal oppressors in the late 19th early 20th Century? Looks like the 'rules' have reverted back to that before their interference.

#2 What the philosophers call natural consequences. The Gazans elected Hamas to run their government, and then their elected government started a war with Israel that the vast majority of Gazans were absolutely delighted with, as of a few weeks ago. Under the circumstances, it’s awfully hard to feel sorry for them.

Or to put in terms you might understand, Woozle Glamp3497: if you sucker punch someone and break their nose, you oughtn’t be surprised when they curb stomp you in response.

#1 Meanwhile, the ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza is continuing.
