...Just as the U.S. learned, other states, too, must realize that they cannot selectively apply the law. For example, the African Union, the Group of 77, and the Arab League all oppose the impending indictment of Sudan??s president. But a country like Libya, whose president heads the African Union, cannot object to the impending ICC indictment without diminishing the already difficult case of the Palestinian Authority, one to which it is more sympathetic. And Russia, which voted for Security Council Resolution 1593, cannot now ignore the arrest warrant simply because it disputes the results of the investigation...
...summer of 2007, the organization Dream for Darfur had asked Staples, the exclusive supplier of office furniture to the 2008 Olympics, to appeal to Beijing to curtail its support for Khartoum. China imports over two-thirds of Sudan??s oil, has invested as much as $15 billion in Sudan??s economy, has stonewalled past Security Council resolutions on the Darfur genocide, and bears responsibility for 90 percent of small arms sales to Sudan since...

...created to be seen as a safe investment separate from CNPC, when in actuality the two are not completely independent, a fact that Harvard recognized in its divestiture,” Bakker said. Harvard divested from PetroChina in April 2005. CNPC owns 88 percent of PetroChina. Seventy percent of Sudan??s oil revenues, for which CNPC is largely responsible, directly fund its military expenditures. CNPC chooses PetroChina’s executive board. As one of only two reputable Western banks allowed to operate in China, UBS wields considerable influence over PetroChina’s activities, said Julie...
...relies on famous friends (namely George Clooney) and media access to translate his post-“Hotel Rwanda” concern into highly visible action. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, spearheads an operation to gather evidence and bring a case against two of Sudan??s guiltiest high-level officials. Within Darfur, Pablo Recalde, a U.N. ground worker, sends a heavily armed convoy to bring food to another region of Darfur, its future uncertain. But no one experiences the crisis more intensely than those in Darfur. The camera highlights refugee solidarity...
