Sudanese president receives invitation from Denmark for UN conference
November 18, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir received an invitation from Denmark to attend the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15), the Copenhagen Post reported today.
Thomas Winkler, head of the Danish Foreign Ministry’s legal department, said that as the climate conference is a UN event, Denmark is obliged to invite all heads of government without exception.
“But at the same time we would point out that Denmark is also obliged to comply with the Security Council’s resolution regarding Darfur,” Winkler was quoted by the Copenhagen Post.
Denmark is a state party to the founding treaty of the ICC and is obliged to arrest Bashir if he visits.
However, it is unlikely that Bashir would venture into Denmark. He has so far avoided travelling to countries that are members of the ICC.
Today the ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said that Bashir has been increasingly marginalized since being indicted.
“Even his planned trip in November to a non-state party, Turkey, was cancelled,” Ocampo told the Assembly of States Parties to the ICC.
“The process of marginalization is in process,” he said.
Ocampo said arresting a serving head of state “requires a process of marginalization both at the national and international levels”.
He cited the case of former Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic, who was surrendered to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia by his own state “after a process of marginalization”. Milosevic died mid-trial.

If he failed to go to Turkey for Islamic conference, do you really think he will bother to go to Denmark for talks about climate?

Bashir is digging himself into the hold and possibly might be his tomb. Like his cousin Saddam, Bashir will be hang alive.
If he can’t go to Uganda and South Africa, where in the world will he go. Not to Denmark of course, that invitation will be turn down before dawn. Mr. Bashir you better turn yourself in.

Bashir fears nobody, not even the ICC. He will definitely travel to Denmark.

God be with ICC UNSC.
When God wanted to punish criminals thousands years ago God said to Moses I made you like God.
Right Honorable Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo is God of the 21st Century to punish criminals Bashirs.

I first want to see what our president will say this time,last time he had pastponed his participation and return from Egypt saying he has internal duties which collided with the conference.however this time will needs him to appear physically with out failure.
