The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, has slammed the UN Security Council for its lack of action against Sudanese war criminals.
She said the ICC had uncovered "ongoing pattern of crimes committed pursuant to the government-avowed goal of stopping the rebellion in Darfur," but the Security Council had not taken sufficient action.
She slammed the UN Security Councils inaction, asking "how many more civilians must be killed, injured and displaced for this council to be spurred into doing its part?"
The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Hassan al-Bashir on charges of genocide.
UN estimates say over 300,000 people have died in Darfur.
