The ICC “Application” Concerning International Crimes in Darfur
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Dilatory, exceedingly cautious, of little consequence, and taking minimal cognizance of the salient ethnic features of human destruction in Darfur
By Eric Reeves, 28 February 2007
As the Darfur genocide enters its fifth year, and two years after UN Security Council Resolution 1593 (March 2005) referred violations of international law in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the ICC has finally identified two of those instrumentally responsible for ethnic slaughter in Darfur. Under Article 58 of the Rome Statute that created the ICC, evidence of large-scale crimes against humanity will now be submitted to the Pre-Trial Chamber (a form of international “grand jury”), which will “review the evidence submitted [by the ICC Prosecution] and decide how to proceed” (Summary, Situation in Darfur, Prosecutor’s Application Under Article 58(7), February 27, 2007, page 9; hereafter “PA”).
