...eyes of Luis Moreno Ocampo, the war in Darfur will end thousands of miles from the killing fields, in a narrow, wood-paneled room carved out of an old parking garage in the Hague. It is here that Moreno-Ocampo, the Argentine prosecutor of the five-year-old International Criminal Court (ICC), intends to bring to justice the perpetrators of Sudan's genocide. Moreno-Ocampo and his team of lawyers will occupy one side of the courtroom, presenting their evidence to a three-judge panel that will decide the case. On the other side will sit the defendant, Ahmad Muhammed...

Security Council a warrant for the arrest of Harun and Ali Kushayb, a leader of the government-backed janjaweed militia, neither man has been delivered to the Hague.

Rebel leaders say the ICC investigation will potentially drive a wedge between Janjaweed commanders and their backers in Khartoum. At Tine...
...recognize Kabila only as the country's symbolic leader, not as head of the government. The conflict, which began when Rwanda and Uganda invaded in 1998, will be the first case investigated by the newly established International Criminal Court in The Hague. The tribunal's chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, said he had received detailed allegations of human-rights violations in the Ituri region, including the massacre of 5,000 civilians since the court was established in July 2002, and which therefore fall within its jurisdiction.
