Sudan downplays calls for arresting Bashir in Denmark
November 21, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese government downplayed calls made by Amnesty International to arrest president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir should he arrive in Denmark for the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Copenhagen next month.
Thomas Winkler, head of the Danish Foreign Ministry’s legal department, said that his government intends “to comply the [UN] Security Council’s resolution regarding Darfur”.
Denmark is a state party to the founding treaty of the ICC and is obliged to arrest Bashir if he visits.
But Kamal Obeid the Sudanese ruling National Congress Party (NCP) information Secretary said that the invitation was addressed to the government and not to Bashir personally adding that no decision has been made on the level of participation.
He also said that Amnesty International calls “is a repetition of the group’s hostile stance towards Sudan”.
Amnesty International urged the Danish government to make it clear that Bashir will be arrested if he travels to Copenhagen.
It is unlikely that Bashir will attend the summit as he as avoided travelling to all countries that have ratified the Rome Statute since the issuance of the arrest warrant.

If president of the Sudan was smart enough then he has chance to withdraw himself and let someone take the post. Most of the countries in this world were against him. If he is not smart in 2010, there will be so many live be gone in Sudan then past. I do feel the big heat coming out in Sudan. Now there more than 40,000 troop, UNMIS and AU which are waiting for their last order. Please Omer safe those life.

Mr.Impotent Dictator Bashir, just go to Denmark and attend the Conference. If you are arrested face the law and test the effect. Remember! the Blood of Innocent Citizens you killed is proportional to the penalty you ard to face in order for Justice and peace to come in SUDAN.You Must test Trial of Justice.Your colleague SADAM is in now enjoying the fruit of his Dictatorship.
