The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Sudanese president.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir on Wednesday, writes The New York Times. For information about this agency Reuters confirmed the unnamed sources in diplomatic circles.

Living in Darfur, ethnic black tribes demanded by the Arab government more independence, which eventually led to clashes with the armed forces of Sudan. In response, the authorities launched a military campaign against the rebels, in which the government engaged the armed groups of Arabs.
In the multi-collision, according to the UN, killed about 300 thousand representatives of the black tribes, several million were forced out of their territory. In 2007, Sudan was placed on a joint peacekeeping contingent of UN and African Union.

As noted by The New York Times, Security Council may request the postponement of the execution warrant after the fact, as he will be extradited.
