The Chadian government should arrest President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan ro bar him entry to Chad, Human Rights Watch said today.
Reports suggest that President al-Bashir will attend the Greenbelt Conference of the Community of Sahel-Saharan States on March 18 2013.
Noting that Chad was a member of the ICC, Human Rights watch said, that Chad was obliged to cooperate with the court and hand over indicted criminals.
"Chad should join the many African countries that have said they'll arrest al-bashir or prevent his visits," said the Human Rights Watch Senior international justice counsel, Elise Keppler.
Human Rights Watch stressed that Chad was the only ICC member nation to allow al-Bashir to visit three times, despite the call to arrest him from almost 100 separate organisations.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
