The U.N. Security Council referred the slaughter in the Darfur region of Sudan to the International Criminal Court, abrogating its responsibility for dealing with the situation.
Once again the United Nations failed to stop the attempted slaughter of one ethnic group by another. And it dares to say that Sudan failed to stop the slaughter from happening? Did the pot just call the kettle black??! Here's the Reuters story.
Sudan was participating in the annihilation of the Christians and had no interest in heeding the warnings of the United Nations. It's a paper tiger and Sudan knew that. The government of Sudan has no issue in blaming certain individuals so long as it doesn't get caught in the same net. It watched as the U.N. went running out of Rwanda in 1994 and saw an opportunity to use the Arab militias to get rid of a group of people that it didn't like.
300,000 dead later, the inept U.N. Security Council turned the situation over to the Hague. Sudan's going to get away with this. Somehow "miscarriage of justice" doesn't even begin to cover it.
