While ICC judges have been chewing on whether or not to issue an indictment for Sudan’s president, as requested by the Court’s Chief Prosecutor, for over six months, one thing they will not be chewing, when their decision comes out tomorrow, is the warrant itself. President Bashir politely made such a request today:
“They will issue their decision tomorrow … this coming decision, they can prepare right now: they can eat it (the warrant),” Bashir told a crowd of cheering supporters who lit and stamped on an effigy of ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo.
The meal will be served tomorrow morning in The Hague. And elbows off the table, please.
