Sudan is saying that it will not extradite any of its citizens to stand trial before the International Criminal Court. Since the ICC has no police force of its own and must rely on state parties for cooperation, this would undoubtedly hinder any investigation or prosecution.
Not that it matters much anyway, because it looks like Britain has decided to side with the US and oppose efforts to refer to the case to the ICC.
Eric Reeves offers part II of his analysis of the UN Commission report
The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur (Geneva, January 25, 2005) is a document fatally compromised in its moral and intellectual integrity. It addresses the essential question of genocide in Darfur with neither logical rigor nor adequate commitment to the evidence available. It emerges from a political context that has evidently motivated several extremely unwise decisions about both a genocide determination and the naming of Khartoum’s genocidaires.
The people of Darfur were owed much more---much, much more. The international community has shamefully devised yet another means of failing the victims of genocide.
