ICC Prosecutor to Name New Darfur Suspects

It’s good to see the ICC still keeping track of developments in Darfur and contemplating the addition of new suspects’ names.

July 9, 2008 (WASHINGTON) – The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Luis Moreno-Ocampo will name new Darfur war crimes suspects on Monday, multiple sources told Sudan Tribune.

The ICC has not made a formal announcement yet.

In his report to the UN Security Council (UNSC) last month, Ocampo made his harshest condemnation of Khartoum saying that he collected evidence of a “criminal plan based on the mobilization of the whole state apparatus, including the armed forces, the intelligence services, the diplomatic and public information bureaucracies, and the justice system”.

Ocampo said that his office is investigating who “is maintaining Haroun in a position to commit crimes; who is instructing him and others”.

Here’s to hoping one day these people will be brought to justice.
