Omar al-Bashir
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will raise with the African Union President Bashir's defiance of a South African court order in connection with genocide charges.
- Answer
-
I regret that President Bashir was not arrested while in South Africa. I have publicly expressed my disappointment that the African Union invited Bashir to its Summit, and called on South Africa, as a State Party to the International Criminal Court to meet its obligation to arrest him. British Government officials are continuing to make our concerns known to the South African Government.
