Al-Bashir Indicted: Justice versus Peace?
On July 14th, 2008, International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Louis Moreno-Ocampo requested an arrest warrant for the President of Sudan, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, on the charges of committing crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide in Darfur. This is the first time that the ICC has ever brought genocide charges; it's also the first time that the Court has brought charges against a sitting head of state.
