Reactions around the world

22 May 2009

Abdul-Wahid Mohammad Noor, SLM leader

“This government, us, or anybody else who has committed a crime against the people of Sudan and Darfur, must be brought to justice, to be punished.”

Ali al-Sadig, spokesman for Sudan’s foreign ministry

"We don't recognise whatever comes out from the ICC, to us it is non-existent."

Richard Dicker, International Justice Program

"Charging President al-Bashir for the hideous crimes in Darfur shows that no one is above the law. It is the prosecutor's job to follow the evidence wherever it leads, regardless of official position."

Ban Ki-Moon

“We are counting on the government of Sudan to guarantee the safety and security of all UN personnel and property and also humanitarian workers.”

AU spokesman

“The AU's position is that nothing should be done that might jeopardise the peace process in Sudan.” Tanzania, whose president chairs the African Union, called for the court to call a halt to the process.
