UNITED NATIONS- The International Criminal Court's prosecutor is accusing the U.N. Security Council of failing to take "swift and concrete action" against countries refusing to arrest Sudan's president and others accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur.
Fatou Bensouda told the council Tuesday that President Omar al-Bashir has crossed international borders 131 times since March 2009 including 14 visits to countries of ICC members that are required to carry out arrest warrants.
She said ICC judges have issued 13 decisions against Sudan and countries that are ICC members seeking U.N. action for the failure to arrest al-Bashir and four others.
Bensouda said the five fugitives can be arrested "if the political will exists among states, and indeed this council."
