ياوزير العدل المرضي: تالله إنك لفي ضلالك القديم!!

Quote: Monday 28 May 2007 Khartoum (Sudanvisiondaily) The Sudan Government has announced that it is thwarting the operation of the International Criminal Court as the later has no jurisdiction over its nationals. The ICC Chief Prosecutor, Luis Morino Ocampo has stated that he has sufficient evidence to try Ahmed Haroun and Ghosaib in ICC court in the Hague and as such they are bound to appear before the Court for details to the incidents under charge. Responding to Ocampo’s statement, the Sudanese Minister of Justice Mohammed Ali Al Mardi noted that neither of the indicts have any intention to appear before the ICC court as they both do not recognize its authority to try either of them in case legal charges have been established against them. Al Mardi reiterated the absence of ICC jurisdiction over Sudan, saying that Sudan won't bow to pressures from any party as its position is legally correct, solid and clear. The Minister of Justice comments came in the back drop of the briefing delivered to the Arab League Secretary General Amro Musa by Ocampo on his activities in Darfur. The ICC chief prosecutor told Musa that the ICC has investigated war crimes in Darfur upon UNSC directions and that he hoped the Sudan Government would not directly hamper the Court work on the issue.
