The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established in 2002 and started its first hearings in 2006 pursuant to the multilateral Rome Statute to investigate, prosecute, and try individuals accused of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity and to sentence with imprisonment individuals who are found guilty. It is headquartered in the Netherlands at the Hague.
This year, in Model Courts of Justice, the International Criminal Court will try the Former President of Sudan, Omar Hassan Ahmad Al-Bashir, by deciding the legality and possibility of arresting a president of the country is a state non-party to the Rome Statute and by trying to define the scope of the crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. In 2003, tension arose in the Darfur region of Sudan after the attack on Al-Fasher airport by opposition groups, Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement. Following that, conflicts between the government and the opposition groups have started. The government of Sudan has been accused of unlawful attacks on civilians, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The Former President Omar Al-Bashir was held responsible as the head of government.
