ICC calls for arrest warrants for rebel splinter faction responsible for Haskanita murders of peacekeepers. Today the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.), Luis Moreno-Ocampo, applied for an arrest warrant for war crimes against several members of a splinter rebel faction in Darfur related to the September 29, 2007 attack on African Union peacekeepers in Haskanita. The Chief Prosecutor's actions are a powerful reminder that the Court will pursue justice with an even hand and follow the chain of evidence with regard to crimes against humanity wherever it leads.
Efforts by parties, including the Sudanese Government, to build support for invoking Article 16 will not be taken seriously until there is a peace to keep in Darfur.
