In the Democratic Republic of Congo, four arrest warrants have been issued for the leader of the Union des Patriotes Congolais, a militia rebel group in the DRC Thomas Lubanga Dyilo for war crimes. For the former senior commander of the Force de Résistance Patriotique en Ituri (“FRPI”) Germain Katanga, and for the former senior commander of the Front Nationalistes et Intégrationistes (FNI), the Force de Résistance Patriotique en Ituri (“FRPI”) in the DRC, Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, and for former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Forces Patriotiques pour la Libération du Congo (FPLC), and current alleged Chief of Staff of the Congrès national pour la défense du people (CNDP) armed group, active in North Kivu in the DRC, Bosco Ntaganda. Mr. Ntaganda, a former associate of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo is charged with war crimes. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo is currently in detention awaiting trial. The confirmation of charges hearing in the cases of Germaine Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui started 27 June 2008. If Pre-Trial judges, confirm the charges, the cases will proceed to trial. In the Central African Republic (CAR), an arrest warrant for Mr. Jean-Pierre Bemba, the former vice president of the DRC, was issued on 23 May 2008 for crimes against humanity and war crimes in CAR. Mr. Bemba was arrested in Brussels, Belgium on 24 May 2008. Mr. Bemba, the first person to be arrested in the context of the ICC investigation in CAR, was later transferred to The Hague on 3 July 2008. The confirmation of charges hearing in this case will be heard before Pre-Trial Chamber judges on 4 November 2008. For the first investigation in the Darfur region of the Sudan for crimes committed in 2003/2004, two arrest warrants were issued on 2 May 2007: for Sudanese government Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Ahmad Muhammad Harun and Ali Kushayb for numerous counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes. These warrants are outstanding. Following a second investigation for crimes committed in the whole of Darfur over the last five years, the Office of the Prosecutor presented evidence to ICC judges showing that Sudanese President, Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, committed crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. The Pre-Trial Chamber I will now review the evidence. If the judges determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the named individual committed the alleged crimes, they will decide on the best manner to ensure his appearance in court. The Prosecution has requested an arrest warrant. Surrender of Individuals sought by the Court The Court does not have a mandate to execute arrests. Thus it relies on the help of states and other actors to implement warrants of arrest to enable the Court to fulfill its mandate. The surrender of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, Germain Katanga, Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui and Jean-Pierre Bemba are important illustrations of how the Court relies on States and other bodies in fulfilling its mandate. These arrests necessitated a complex process involving cooperation with the territorial State, States Parties and international organisations.
