International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno Ocampo,
accused al-Bashir of genocide, crimes against humanity
and war crimes in Darfur.[8] The court issued an

prosecution, the Court held that there was indeed
sufficient evidence for charges of genocide to be brought
and issued a second warrant containing three separate
counts. The new warrant, as with the first, will be
delivered to the Sudanese government, which is unlikely
to execute it. Al-Bashir is the first sitting head of state
ever indicted by the ICC as well as the first to be

13. Name of Institution
Omar Hassan Ahmad Al-Bashir
• The initial International Crime Court (ICC) charges against al-Bashir,
which included seven counts of crimes against humanity and war
crimes, were issued in March 2009 but did not include genocide
counts. On appeal, the lower court was found by appellate judge
Erkki Kourula to have erred in law and was ordered to reexamine
the evidence for genocide.
• The ICC released a further statement saying that al-Bashir's
charges now include "genocide by killing, genocide by causing
serious bodily or mental harm and genocide by deliberately inflicting
on each target group conditions of life calculated to bring about the
group's physical destruction" in three separate counts. The new
warrant will act as a supplement to the first, whereby the charges
initially brought against al-Bashir will all remain in place, but will now
include the crime of genocide which was ruled out initially, pending
appeal.
