War crimes court prepares Darfur trials
The International Criminal Court expects to finalise its first case by February against suspects in war-torn Darfur who bear the greatest responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The United Nations’ court’s chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo gave few details of the investigation except to say that it focused on “a series of incidents in 2003 and 2004, during a period and in a location where the highest number of crimes were recorded”.
