Malawi asked to explain al-Bashir inaction
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has demanded that Malawi explain why it failed to arrest Sudanese President and genocide suspect Omar al-Bashir during a recent visit, warning it could refer the matter to the UN Security Council. According to a report on the IoL site, al-Bashir, who is wanted by the ICC on charges of orchestrating genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region, visited Malawi earlier this month for a regional trade summit. Judges at The Hague-based war crimes court issued a decision requesting Malawi submit before 11 November ‘any observations’ over its alleged failure to comply with the arrest warrant issued against al-Bashir.
