Sudan: Government repeats 'no' to ICC

Each time it gets the opportunity, Sudan restates its opposition to the referral of the Darfur situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC). On 22 April, in Jakarta, the Sudanese minister for foreign affairs told the news agency AP: "The Sudanese judiciary is, and has always been, willing and capable of assuming its responsibilities. The government has brought before the courts persons involved in violations of human rights. Scores of such persons have already been arrested and tried."
