Darfur, Sudan: As the cat naps the mice wreak havoc
Ronli Sifris
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 30, Number 5, October 2005

This article considers violations of international law committed by government sponsored militiamen in Darfur, Sudan. It also examines the response of the international community to the atrocities committed in Darfur. In particular, this article stresses that it was not until March 2005 that the United Nations Security Council established a Mission in Sudan, authorised UN personnel to take the necessary action to protect civilians, and referred the matter to the International Criminal Court . In the author’s view, such action is too little too late.

SERIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN ZIMBABWE: OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMES, IMMUNITIES, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PROSECUTIONS
Max du Plessis and Andreas Coutsoudis
South African Journal on Human Rights
Volume 21, Part 3, 2005

From the viewpoint of International Criminal Law , the serious human rights abuses perpetrated in Zimbabwe have implications for the perpetrators. Drawing on the jurisprudence of international criminal tribunals and the text of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, these implications are discussed. Two important international law doctrines are of relevance to any prosecution attempt in relation to Zimbabwe’s leaders: the doctrine of responsibility and superior orders, and the controversial question of immunity. Possible avenues for prosecution of Zimbabweans implicated in international crimes include actions before foreign municipal courts and actions by means of the world’s first permanent international criminal tribunal, the International Criminal Court. Special consideration is given to a possible prosecution under South Africa’s Implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Act of 2002.
