Arrest Warrant


The arrest warrant makes Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir the first serving head of state indicted by the ICC for war crimes. Some described the ICC verdict as a way to reinforce the Darfur crisis and encourage violence throughout Sudan. The ICC should take into consideration how the arrest warrant could distabilize Sudan. They are ignoring all the ramifications that could take place after the decision. It is obvious they politicizing the conflict in many respects which is why there is a general sense of anger in the Arab world towards the court.
