ICC prosecutor urges Sudan to arrest Bashir
2009-06-06
[Al Arabiya Latest] International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo on Friday pressed the Sudanese government to arrest President Omar al-Bashir who stands accused of Darfur war crimes and crimes against humanity. "The government of Sudan has the responsibility to arrest him (Bashir)," Moreno-Ocampo told the United Nations Security Council, citing a legal obligation stemming from the U.N. Charter and U.N. resolutions.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Bashir at Moreno-Ocampo's request last March but since then the defiant Sudanese leader has made at least seven trips outside Sudan.
