Over years ago, the massacres continue in Sudan in the Darfur region by the criminal regime of Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who proved that he is not less than a world-class criminal against humanity.

In addition to widespread killing and ethnic cleansing by the criminal al-Bashir and his criminal subjects of some tribes in the region like ‘Janjaweed’ working and killing under the direct command of al-Bashir, Darfur is suffering a wide range of unbelievable human rights violations and atrocities by which a comprehensive system of deprivation, humiliation and torture is imposed on the indigenous population of Darfur of non-Arab origin.

This system is comprehensive to the letter that it targets every single human right and living means of the indigenous population of Darfur. This comprehensive system of crimes against humanity includes everything from food and water deprivation to systematic rape besides direct killing of course.

The criminal al-Bashir, besides his regime and subject criminals of militants and tribesmen, made really an exceptional system of human rights violations and atrocities along with ethnic cleansing, which is definitely worthy of historical archiving and citation as a moment in which the humanity failed in defending itself.

This continued tragic situation in Darfur somehow reflects the repeated failure of the international order to maintain peace and security and to save human dignity and basic human rights, especially as regards the question of Darfur in Sudan so far. This repeated and somehow familiar international failure has not been significantly changed even after the end of the Cold War and the dismantling of the totalitarian Eastern Campaign.

Apart from this international failure, there was an international shy but significant step represented by the hardly taken resolution by the UN Security Council about referring the crimes against humanity committed in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In this regard, the judicial authorities of the ICC, which have shown seriousness and clear and steady commitment to justice so far besides an indifference to politics and political distortion, and deserve a tribute in this regard, might compensate the international failure at the political level in achieving peace and security for the victim civilian population of Darfur.

Hence, it is a humanitarian responsibility upon all parties to support the work of the International Criminal Court in the Darfur case to achieve justice there, as a way leading to peace and security for the long-time suffering civilian population of Darfur.
