Where does the ICC stand now in its attempt to arrest leaders in Sudan?
Chung: The Sudanese government has made clear that it will not turn over any Sudanese nationals to the ICC. The African Union recently passed a resolution saying that its membership, including ICC member countries, would not help to arrest President al-Bashir. On the other hand, some countries, including African countries, have expressed, by word and deed, that President al-Bashir is no longer welcome to come into their territories. The president himself has been extremely careful about where he travels. As I mention above, one Sudanese rebel leader has voluntarily appeared in response to an arrest warrant issued by the Court. This willingness to answer charges stands in stark contrast to al-Bashir’s intransigence. POV: What can the international community do to put pressure on the Sudanese to enforce the arrest warrant for President al-Bashir? Chung: The international community has stood up in important ways for accountability. The U.N. Security Council has been asked to defer the ICC
