KHARTOUM, June 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The Sudanese government on Saturday
unveiled the establishment of a special court for alleged human rights
violations in the western region of Darfur.
Chairman of the Sudanese Council of Justice Jalal-eddin Mohammed Othman said the Sudanese justice "intends to fulfill its full responsibility for carrying out its
mission impartially" and will not let any perpetrators escape from punishment
whatever their positions are.
He said the tribunal is a high court which will be specialized in pursuing
Darfur war crime suspects, adding it has been authorized to try any suspect
involved in killing, looting and destruction of properties in the region.
Meanwhile, Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Ismail confirmed the
government's readiness to cooperate with all institutions which could contribute
to realizing justice in Darfur.
He told reporters that all necessary procedures and arrangements for the
Darfur special criminal court started, stressing that any impunity will be
lifted from any Darfur war crime suspects regardless of their positions.
Ismail said that justice must reach all perpetrators and they will be tried
by the Sudanese court, adding the court would be open all the time and would
work in a transparent way. Enditem |
