Addressing the UN Secruity Council, chief ICC prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, continued the court's call to end impunity in Sudan and bring those responsible for crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur, to justice. 

Ocampo said,

“The execution of the arrest warrants will end the crimes in Darfur."

“The individuals sought by the court are still allegedly committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur."

“The world knows where the fugitives of the court are. They are in official positions, controlling the Government of the Sudan, commanding military operations in different parts of the Sudan.”

“The people of Darfur need the leadership of the Security Council.”

“The arrest warrants shall be implemented. The Security Council resolutions shall be implemented. Millions of civilians in Darfur shall be protected”

An arrest warrant was issued for the Sudanese president, Bashir, by the International Criminal court, in 2008 on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Darfur.

The International Criminal Court is seeking the arrest of the Sudanese defence minister Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussain, and is compiling evidence of war crimes allegedly committed by the Sudanese Defence Minister, Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussain, along the border between South and North Sudan.
