Sudan: Sudanese government must support ICC investigation

As the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced that it will begin investigations of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Darfur, Amnesty International said that the ICC investigation must take priority over any Sudanese investigations and that all states, including the government of Sudan, must support the ICC investigation in every way possible. "This announcement brings hope for justice and accountability for the victims of killings, massive forced displacement and rape in Darfur," said Kolawole Olaniyan, Director of Amnesty International's Africa Programme.
