". History shows that justice does finally catch up with war criminals, even if at first they escape the clutches of the law and cover their tracks. Adolf Eichmann, one of the men behind the Nazi operation to exterminate the Jews, was apprehended in Buenos Aires after being sought for 15 years. Radovan Karadžić was captured by the Serbian Police 13 years after the Srebrenica massacre. The same scenario certainly awaits the President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, the architect of ethnic cleansing in Darfur, who has been wanted by the International Criminal Court since March last year. What can the European Union do to help bring al-Bashir before the Court? First and foremost, it can put pressure on states which are signatories to the Rome Statute, because the Statute is the legal basis of the Court’s work. There must not be a repeat of the situation which took place on 27 August, when President al-Bashir, undisturbed by the police, came to Kenya, a country which has signed the Rome Statute, for a ceremony related to the adoption of the new Kenyan Constitution, after which he returned safely to Sudan. All diplomatic channels should be used, including the active participation of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, to use the instruments which are available, such as the regular summits of the African Union and the Cotonou Agreement, finally to bring about the detention of al-Bashir, who is accused of genocide."@en1
