The ICC, in 2007 charged Darfur rebel chief Bahar Idriss Abu Garda with three war crimes of violence to life, intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units and vehicles involved in a peacekeeping mission by the African Union Mission in Sudan (“AMIS”). The judges agreed that the case was of importance because the consequences of the attack had affected not only the AMIS personnel and their families, but also the local population as AMIS. However, the Chamber found that the prosecution’s allegations that Abu Garda participated in the alleged plan to attack AMIS were not supported by sufficient evidence.
