Sudan dispatching delegations to UNSC member countries
March 21, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — The Sudanese government will send high level delegations to countries which sit on the UN Security Council (UNSC), according to a newspaper report.
The UNSC this year is composed of the five permanent members — China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The non-permanent members are Austria, Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Croatia, Japan, Libya, Mexico, Turkey, Uganda and Vietnam.
The diplomatic push is aimed at rallying support against decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir earlier this month on war crimes committed in Darfur.
Presidential adviser Ismail said that conferences will be held in Western capital “to expose the practices of the ICC and its role as a tool for hegemony by world powers”.
Arab and African countries have failed to convince the UNSC to invoke Article 16 of the ICC statute which suspends prosecutions for a period of 12 months that can be renewed indefinitely.
Sudan lacks the required nine votes to secure such a resolution and some veto wielding members in the UNSC including US, UK and France have suggested that they will block any deferral attempts.
Yesterday Sudan heard criticism from most UNSC over its decision to expel 13 relief organizations from Darfur.

Bashire and his thugs are still insane. How can they mobilized the world inorder to suspend an arrest warrant while the crimes in which he has been accused and indicted is continuing? Without peace in Sudan as a whole, continuing mass murder in Darfur through inducing hunger by expelling aid agencies; those delegations going around the world to save your dear life are wasting time and money.
Bashire, you are now under house arrest and it is very shamful for the sudanese people to have the president that has no values, voice or accepted in the world affairs. You have created a bad history to Sudan. You will die like Saddam of Iraq if you have no vision.
Alternatively, to think wisely, bring the real peace to Darfur, implement the CPA, huge developments compensation to the neglected areas, or give the presidency to the marginalized people of Sudan who can finally acquire a complete aquital from the ICC. Otherwise, your ignorance will put you in jail or die so quickly if you choose the suicide road.
