Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Africa.


Africa

As someone who shares the hon. Gentleman's interest, I appreciate all he says about the Sudan. However, there is a problem with the International Criminal Court citation inasmuch as some of the politics—for example, a visit by the Secretary-General—could never happen because the Secretary-General could not meet President Bashir. That is one of the problems of the legal route going alongside the political route. Like him or loathe him, one has to deal with Bashir.
