"Omar al-Bashir has managed once again to defy the international community and I deplore the decision of the Kenyan authorities to invite the Sudanese president to the promulgation ceremony of the new constitution and, above all, not to arrest him.
The justification offered by the Kenyan authorities on the grounds of good neighbourly relations is definitely inappropriate in this instance. As a state party to the Rome Statute, Kenya has a clear obligation to cooperate with the International Criminal Court. Moreover, the case of the atrocities committed in Darfur was submitted to the Court based on Security Council Resolution 1593 from 2005, adopted on the basis of Chapter 7. This text is binding and obliges all states and international organisations to cooperate fully with the Court, in accordance with paragraph 2.
The Kenyan minister of foreign affairs also mentioned the decision adopted by the African Union last year not to cooperate with the ICC, which was reiterated in July at the meeting in Kampala. This justification is not admissible either because this decision does not comply with international law.
I believe that member states of the African Union should be the first to cooperate with the ICC in the battle against impunity when heinous crimes are committed in Africa."@en1
