Justice for Darfur?

George Clooney recently visited refugee camps in Chad and has announced that they seek justice from the international community over the genocide. The AP reports:

George Clooney says refugees from Sudan's war-wracked Darfur region that he's been visiting this week are echoing a message: "Bring us justice."

Clooney said his trip to the camps in Chad comes at an "extraordinarily important moment" with the International Criminal Court about to decide whether to seek the arrest of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur.

Despite concerns of heightened violence if the arrest is sought, Clooney said that most Darfur refugees he spoke with told him they see hope in the international community.

Clooney said the concern of increasing violence is most acute among refugees in Darfur. "Here in Chad, it is a very different feeling," he said, with many people telling him: "Bring us justice. Bring us justice."

Clooney is designated a U.N. Messenger of Peace but said his current visit — his sixth to Darfur and Chad — was privately arranged. Clooney, who co-founded Not On Our Watch to focus global attention on Darfur, has been denied entry to Sudan. He called that a sign the government doesn't want to draw any attention to Darfur at this critical time.

It also appears that Luis Moreno-Ocampo is looking to bring justice.

Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court, issued a press release indicating that it would rule on March 4 on the question of whether to issue a warrant for the arrest of Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir of Sudan.
