CICC Regional Coordinator for Asia and the Pacific, Evelyn Serrano, with participants at a conference hosted by the Karnataka Association of Professional Social Workers in association with the Department of Social Work at Bangalore University.
Over 600 participants from different parts of India attended the Social Workers’ Conference, which took place between 12-14 August in Bangalore, India. The Conference provided a forum for discussion on the ICC, the work of the CICC, the Darfur situation, and other conflict situations in the region (e.g. Burma, Kashmir, and Sri Lanka). In addition, H.R. Bhardwag, former law minister of India and current Governor of Karnataka, spoke on India’s position vis-à-vis the Rome Statute and the ICC in 2002 when he still served in the Ministry of Law and Justice. Inspired by the lectures and presentations, participants were resolved to engage their government to ratify the Rome Statute.

CICC Members React to Sudanese President Al-Bashir's Attendance at the Signing of the New Constitution in Nairobi

CICC

President Omar Al-Bashir of Sudan attended the signing of Kenya's new constitution on 27 August 2010, despite the issuance of two arrest warrants by judges of the International Criminal Court for charges of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide committed in Darfur in 2003 and 2004. As a State Party to the Rome Statute and member of the United Nations, Kenya is under obligation to arrest and surrender Al-Bashir to the Court when he enters the country's territory. CICC members strongly reacted to Kenya's lack of compliance with the Statute - See CICC Press Release, ICC Press Release, Member Statements, Read more..
