ICC asks SC to act on outstanding arrest warrantsBy uniindia

United Nations, Dec 13 (UNI) Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir recently travelled to countries that recognise the International Criminal Court (ICC) but none arrested or surrendered Bashir, the ICC Prosecutor has told the United Nations Security Council.

“I call on this Council to prioritise action on the outstanding warrants of arrest issued by the Court,” Fatou Bensouda told the Security Council in New York on Tuesday.

She also said that “there can be no justification for States Parties to fail to arrest a suspect against whom an ICC warrant of arrest has been issued, irrespective of that person's official status.”
