A Last Chance for Justice in Darfur, Sudan

New Action:

From Human Rights First:

Ask President Bush to Help Stop Mass Murder in Darfur

Tomorrow, March 30, the U.N. Security Council is scheduled to vote on a resolution that would authorize an international court to investigate and prosecute the mass murder in Darfur. If the resolution does not pass, an opportunity for the international community to take decisive action on the grave situation in the Sudan will be lost -- possibly forever.

The United States, which has until now taken a leadership role in focusing the world's attention on the atrocities in Darfur, does not support the resolution because of its objections to the court, the new International Criminal Court (ICC). As an alternative, the United States proposes further discussion.

But this would only mean additional delay.

It is time for the U.S. government to raise its objections to the ICC in another venue. In this instance, the ICC represents the best, and perhaps the only, realistic mechanism for justice.

Please join with us in asking President George W. Bush to ensure that the United States does not veto a Security Council referral of the situation of Darfur to the ICC.
