With the controversial indictment of Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, earlier this week, the International Criminal Court is putting its reputation on the line. The court has taken years to assemble its case against Bashir, in large part because it is by design a passive institution: it can neither conduct its own investigations, nor make arrests. Perhaps more significantly, international reaction to the move is divided, with Russia and China complaining that it violates Sudan's sovereignty and NGOs worrying that the charges will endanger peacekeepers and aid workers in the country.
War-crimes investigator Tom Parker served as a special adviser on transitional justice for the United Kingdom during the trial of Saddam Hussein before going to Chad in 2004 for the U.S. State Department's Genocide Assessment Team to investigate crimes in Darfur. He talked with NEWSWEEK's Travis Wentworth about the evidence against Bashir and what it will mean for Sudan's troubled region. Excerpts:
NEWSWEEK: How will the ICC go about proving a link between Bashir and the crimes in Darfur?
Tom Parker: The ICC has been operating with the major handicap that it doesn't have investigators on the ground. But there are plenty of organizations, both international and indigenous, that collect information. There are plenty of refugees who can tell about their experience [and] you've got African Union and U.N. peacekeepers on the ground, as well. They write reports which are certainly going to be made available to the ICC. Google had that Google Earth project, where they were monitoring the genocide from the air. So there are all these quite innovative attempts by the nongovernmental community to help the ICC overcome its shortcomings.
Do you think the ICC has a strong case?
Logistical stuff can tell you a whole lot about who's controlling what. [For example if] the Sudanese Air Force--as is often the case, or used to be the case with some of the village attacks--[is] flying an Antonov over a village and dropping explosives out the back three minutes before the Janjaweed [militia] turn up to assault the village, it's a pretty good bet that it's a coordinated assault and that the Sudanese Air Force and the Janjaweed are working in cahoots.
One of the things we found in the Bosnia conflict is a lot of the military communications were recorded by the other people in the conflict: rebel groups might well be writing down what they hear on the radio. Often when you're dealing with a relatively unsophisticated military, as in the case of Sudan, they're not encrypting a lot of the communications. So anybody with a radio tuned into the same frequency can hear what's going on.
Won't Bashir have to be out of power before these links can really be uncovered?
There will be scraps of information out there that illustrate evidence of a chain of command. Who's paying the salaries of these people, where are they getting their ammunition from, where are they shipping the spoils? When I was there, there was talk that the Janjaweed would steal cattle and camels and send them to Egypt or to Libya to sell. In a command-oriented economy like Sudan, If you're shipping booty by rail, the state's in on it.
Interactions the Janjaweed have with the authorities prove widespread cooperation between them and different aspects of government. If everybody's involved, from the state railways to the Air Force to the police to the arms manufacturers, there's really only one place all those strands meet, and that's at the top. You can start inferring the degree of political direction at a high level. So the way in which daily operations are run, snippets of information, eyewitness testimony, all can build a powerful circumstantial case that leaves no reasonable doubt that the government is behind it.
