  1. “In closing, the United States continues to believe that working to ensure justice and accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide is not just a moral obligation, but is integral to ensuring a lasting and durable peace in the Sudan. We will continue to support Prosecutor Bensouda and ICC efforts to bring to justice those most responsible for serious crimes in Darfur.”

  2. “We note the decisions issued by the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber with respect to non-cooperation in the Darfur situation. As the report by the Office of the Prosecutor notes, President Al-Bashir has traveled internationally on at least six occasions in as many months. We note that Africans have not always welcomed his visits. Last year, public protests and actions aimed at compelling President Al-Bashir's arrest made him leave one country before he was able to make an appearance, and activists in another country filed petitions demanding his apprehension and transfer to The Hague. The Security Council should take a cue from those groups and do more to follow up on the implementation of resolution 1593 (2005), since inaction only emboldens perpetrators in the Sudan and elsewhere.”

  3. “These attacks have resulted in more than 100,000 new displacements since May, interrupting the planting season. Nor has the Government of the Sudan honoured its commitments to justice and accountability under the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur. We have yet to see any credible independent investigation into violations of international humanitarian law or human rights, much less any cases for such acts prosecuted in the Special Courts for Darfur. Instead, we continue to see protracted assaults on civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian aid workers. If the Sudan is to enjoy a peaceful, stable and prosperous future, the Government cannot be indifferent to the lives of its people. But it is not just the Government of the Sudan that has failed to live up to its commitments.”

  4. “The consequences of this impunity are clear. Although the world first became aware of crimes in Darfur a decade ago, the Government continues to use apparently indiscriminate aerial bombardments with deadly consequences for civilians. Violence in Darfur continues to escalate as paramilitary Rapid Support Force soldiers kill, loot, burn and rape. This year, more than 322,000 Darfuris have been forced from their homes, worsening a humanitarian crisis that has been compounded by humanitarian groups' lack of access. Unsurprisingly, the violence has spread beyond Darfur's borders. We are outraged by reports of ongoing indiscriminate attacks, as well as targeted attacks on civilians, hospitals and schools in the states of Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile.”

  5. “I would like to thank Prosecutor Bensouda for her briefing today. The United States appreciates her efforts to bring justice to the people of Darfur. We look forward to seeing further progress with the start of the trial of Abdallah Banda, who is alleged to be among those responsible for the deaths of 12 African Union peacekeepers. The continued work of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in investigating ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur is made more difficult by the alarming levels of violence and the persistent failure of the Government of the Sudan to abide by its obligations under resolution 1593 (2005) to cooperate fully with the Court. While the people of Darfur continue to await justice, the architects of the campaign of terror who bear the greatest responsibility for atrocities in Darfur go free.”
