Summary: EUHR Solana welcomes International Criminal Court's initiative to present evidence on alleged crimes in Sudan/Darfur (27 February 2007: Brussels)
Javier Solana, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), welcomes today's decision by the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to present evidence to the Court in the case of two individuals who have allegedly committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.
Mr Solana reiterates that the European Union is one of the strongest advocates of the International Criminal Court and appreciates today's decision, which will further the cause of peace. Mr Solana stresses that peace for the region of Darfur, where crimes of particular gravity have been committed, cannot be founded on impunity.
For this reason, Mr Solana calls upon the Sudanese authorities to fully cooperate with the International Criminal Court, as stipulated in resolution 1593 of the United Nations Security Council.
