No law is enforced without poltical will, and international law is no exception.. untill there will be some sort of agreement at the UNSC the situation in Sudan will continue to challenge western human rights universal approach. at the end of the day its politics that matters.
"Mr. Bashir, the only sitting head of state to be indicted on charges of
genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, has repeatedly scoffed
at the arrest warrants and has even traveled abroad despite the risk of
arrest, although he could face that threat again next month if he
attends an African Union summit meeting in Malawi.
No Sudanese officials have yet been arrested in connection with the
violent campaign against non-Arab civilians in the Darfur region of
western Sudan. The United Nations has said at least 300,000 people died
there over the past decade and that more than 4 million were forcibly
displaced. The Security Council authorized Mr. Moreno-Ocampo to begin a
criminal inquiry seven years ago, and the voluminous case he developed
against Mr. Bashir and the co-defendants eventually turned into a
stalemate."
