Sudan to hand over Ex-Prez Omar al-Bashir to International Criminal Court

Sudan's rulers have agreed to hand over ex-President Omar al-Bashir to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face genocide and war crimes charges. Bashir is accused of serious crimes in a conflict that broke out in Darfur in 2003 which led to the deaths of three lakh



persons.

Authorities said the former President and others charged by the ICC, should appear at The Hague to face a tribunal. The commitment came at peace talks between Sudan's Government and rebel groups from the Darfur region.
