Urge U.S. to Support Accountability for Crimes Against Humanity Committed in Darfur

by Danny Fisher

This from Amnesty International:

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur. Some organizations and United Nations member states are calling for the UN Security Council to suspend the execution of the arrest warrant. The U.S. government has gone on record opposing any compromise on justice. Write to Secretary of State Clinton and UN Ambassador Rice today to urge the U.S. to continue to oppose any calls to bargain justice away. As part of U.S. efforts to support accountability for crimes committed in Darfur, also urge Secretary of State Clinton to use her good offices to ensure a Special Envoy on Sudan is appointed as soon as possible. A Special Envoy is needed to deal with the interlocking issues of Darfur and broader security and peace in Sudan.
