Sudan govt is not meeting the requirements of cooperation set out by the UN Security Council in 2005.
Statement of ICC Prosecutor, Karim A. A. Khan KC, to the United Nations Security Council on the Situation in Darfur, pursuant to Resolution 1593 (2005)
The ICC Prosecutor stated on his thirty six stwent to the council – ( you can read the full statement here ) that : “Five months since my last visit to Darfur, I believe a fair assessment compels to the conclusion that the Office I have the honour to lead has made really sincere efforts to keep the promises I made to the communities I had the honour to look in the face, to listen to, and engage with. And by the cumulative measures, the focused deployment of additional resources, by the attempt to get more information, I think we have tried to bring back to The Hague, to the activities of my Office, the urgency that we felt so keenly in the camps of those displaced in Darfur.
But, Mr. President, there remains a key part, an essential part, of our collective work that must be addressed. As reflected in the report, and as is patently obvious, of course, cooperation from the Government of Sudan is critically important if we are to meet the needs of the people of Darfur. And the unfortunate truth – and it brings me no pleasure at all to say it – is that the Government of Sudan is not meeting the requirements of cooperation set out by this Council under Chapter 7 of the Charter in Resolution 1593 all those years ago in 2005” he went on to say :”Many important promises, many promises, signed cooperation agreements, undertakings from the most senior officials of the country, made to my face in my last visit, signed in memoranda of understanding, have not been honoured. And indeed it is my unfortunate duty to say that cooperation has deteriorated, not improved, since my last briefing”
