Sudan President can be charged with genocide at ICC

The International Criminal Court in The Hague will try to charge Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. The decision is good because now it is possible other world leaders can be charged with the same crime- the article states four investigations are on-going right now, all in Africa. Last March al-Bashir was charged with seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, but not genocide. The president has since avoided traveling to countries where he might be arrested and brought to the ICC.
