The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has urged the UN Security Council to accelerate action to deliver justice for thousands of people in Sudan’s western Darfur region, the scene of multiple massacres and bloodshed in 2003.
Speaking in a virtual briefing on Tuesday from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, Karim Khan said that his resolve to press for greater focus and more resources to arrest and bring to trial alleged ringleaders of the violence had been reinforced, following his recent visit to Darfur that ended this week.
