Quote: But even if Khartoum is removed from the list, Washington would still expect Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to answer charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur, which have been leveled against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"The United States continues to believe that President Bashir should cooperate with the ICC," Carson said.
"The United States has taken a very clear position that you need to have justice and accountability with regard to Darfur and that position doesn't change," Lyman told AFP.
The ICC first charged Bashir with war crimes and crimes against humanity in 2009. The court added three genocide charges in July 2010.
"Irrespective of this, we seek a better relationship with the government of Sudan, which is possible," said Carson, adding that Washington could also seek to have a higher level of diplomatic representation in Khartoum.
Currently, Washington is represented in Khartoum by a charge d'affaires and a deputy chief of mission.
"We look to have a normalized relationship with a government in Sudan, notwithstanding the need for President Bashir to answer the charges leveled against him by the international community and the ICC," said Carson. |
