ISS Today: Will justice rise with al-Bashir’s fall? By ISS Today issafrica
But will al-Bashir’s fall mean justice for the people of Sudan? Unlikely. At least for now.
Al-Bashir’s continued evasion of the ICC arrest warrants remains one of the international criminal justice’s biggest conundrums. What do you do when the people considered most responsible for international crimes are so, it is a case of “wait and see”. Even though the prosecutor continued to call for his arrest and condemned member states of the Rome Statute that failed to, her office probably knew that the only time an arrest would be possible was after he left office.
The likelihood of both those things happening is extremely slim given that even though he is the subject of European Union and United States sanctions, to date no country has levelled charges against al-Bashir.
