الإتحاد الأوروبي: لا حصانة للبشير من الملاحقة الجنائية رغم فوزه في الإنتخابات!!!

Quote: The EU on Monday expressed concern over the Sudan vote count, stressing there can be no impunity for those like the winner President Omar al-Beshir, facing serious charges under international law. A statement by European foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg welcomed "the largely peaceful conduct of the recent election" but expressed concerns about "the counting and aggregation of results" as identified by EU observers. The EU "expresses concern about the deficiencies in relation to international standards," the ministers said. Official results on Monday gave Beshir his first win in a contested election since his 1989 coup, despite rifts with the West over Darfur war crimes charges and his hosting of Al-Qaeda in the 1990s. In March 2009 Beshir became the first sitting head of state to be indicted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. The six-year-old conflict in the vast western region pitting the army and Arab militias against ethnic minority rebels sparked US charges of genocide and Western anger that he refused to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) or surrender wanted officials. His alleged crimes against humanity include murder, extermination, forcible transfer, torture, and rape, and two counts of war crimes -- attacks against civilians and pillaging. The EU statement insisted that "impunity for the most serious crimes under international law can never be accepted." The 27 EU nations reiterated support for the court and called on the Sudan authorities "to cooperate fully with the ICC in accordance with its obligations under international law
