The ICCSN has launched a campaign calling for the international community to support the ICC Chief Prosecutor's request for an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir for his involvement in the Darfuri crisis. The Chief Prosecutor has presented evidence of President Al-Bashir leadership in campaigns of mass murder and intimidation in Darfur, resulting in the death of up to 300,000 civilians and the displacement of up to 3 million.

The Rome Statute of the ICC contains a clause, known as Article 16, under which the UN Security Council reserves the right to suspend an ICC investigation. There have been recent indications that the UK, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, is ready to support an Article 16 resolution, stopping the ICC investigation of crimes committed by President Al-Bashir. To do so would be a massive step backwards in the international battle against impunity. It would be a positive indication of the international community's unwillingness to bring justice to the people of Darfur, in a conflict that has gripped an entire generation.
