Sudan not expected to honor charges against its president Crime: Prosecutor says African nation's leader is to blame for deaths in Darfur Sudan not expected to honor charges against its president
The filing marked the first time prosecutors at the world's first permanent, global war crimes court have issued charges against a sitting head of state, but al-Bashir is unlikely to be sent to The Hague any time soon. Sudan's government rejects the court's jurisdiction.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo asked the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for al-Bashir to prevent the deaths of more people still in Darfur.
An estimated 300,000 people have died in Darfur since conflict erupted in 2003.
