]]> The International Criminal Court’s reported Jordan to the United Nations Security Council for not arresting Sudan’s President Omar al Bashir when he visited the Kingdom.

The legal institution is going a step further than it did against South Africa for failing to meet its obligations under the Rome Treaty establishing it.

Sudanese President Omar al Bashir visited Jordan last March for an Arab League summit.

The ICC reminded King Abdullah II that al Bashir is wanted on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Jordan made no attempt to detain the Sudanese leader…

… just as the South African authorities fell foul of the ICC and its own Supreme Court for failing to detain al Bashir when  he was in South Africa for the AU summit in 2015.

In the latter case the ICC rapped South Africa over the knuckles but did not refer the matter to the UN powerhouse.
