Sudan: UN Secretary General urged to demand stronger response of Sudanese government

Freedom House, together with six of the most prominent human rights organisations in the US, issued a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon urging him to demand Sudan’s compliance with the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) ongoing investigation and issuance of arrest warrants. In particular, the group pointed out that the current Sudanese State Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Ahmed Haroun, is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the ICC.
