  • To Arrest Or Not to Arrest the Incumbent Head of State: the Bashir Case and the Interplay Between Law and Politics
    TO ARREST OR NOT TO ARREST THE INCUMBENT HEAD OF STATE: THE BASHIR CASE AND THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN LAW AND POLITICS JADRANKA PETROVIC,* DALE STEPHENS,** VASKO NASTEVSKI*** ABSTRACT In 2009, Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir (‘President Bashir’) was indicted by the International Criminal Court (‘ICC’) on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the conflict in the western region of Darfur, Sudan. The following year the ICC charged President Bashir with genocide over events in Darfur, where allegedly more than 300 000 people have died and more than two million people have been displaced since 2003. Before the ICC can prosecute President Bashir, it has to obtain custody over him. As a judicial institution without power to arrest those it indicts, the Court relies on national authorities. States to which President Bashir has travelled since the warrants for his arrest have been issued have been reluctant to arrest and surrender President Bashir to the ICC justifying their refusal by the head of state immunity argument. By focusing on the specific response of the South African government to the ICC’s arrest warrant against President Bashir in June 2015, this article considers the question of whether states must cooperate with the ICC in instances of an arrest warrant against a sitting head of state of a non-state party and observes the broader implications of state responses similar to the South African case. I INTRODUCTION If Bashir were to come to South Africa today, we will definitely implement what we are supposed to in order to bring the culprit to [The] Hague.

  • Domestic Politics
    Chad The year was marked by the parliamentary and presidential elections, which took place without major incident. The security situation remained calm throughout the year, as rela- tions with Sudan remained cordial. There was some worry over the unrest in Libya, with Chadian nationals returning to the north of Chad. The economy showed moderate growth, helped by high oil prices and an almost normal agricultural season after the bumper crop of 2010 and the drought of 2009. Domestic Politics Politics in Chad were dominated by the parliamentary and presidential elections, which took place on 13 February and 25 April, respectively. The parliamentary election was the first in ten years, having been postponed several times since 2006, and was the result of prolonged negotiations with the opposition within the ‘Commission Électorale Nation- ale Indépendante’ (CENI), which was established on 13 August 2007 after an agreement between the government and the ‘Coalition des Partis Politiques pour la Défense de la Constitution’. More than 100 political parties participated in the election, indicating the complete fragmentation of the opposition in the face of the ruling party and allies of President Idriss Déby Itno. Despite allegations of preferential treatment of the ruling party 228 • Central Africa by the authorities, the election itself was apparently held in a reasonably fair and free atmosphere. The ruling party, the ‘Mouvement pour le Salut de la Patrie’ (MPS), and its allies won a majority in parliament, with 125 seats out of 188. The major opposition par- ties, the ‘Union Nationale pour la Démocratie et le Rénouveau’, ‘Union pour le Rénou- veau et la Démocratie’ and ‘Rassemblement National pour la Démocratie au Tchad’ took nine, seven and seven seats, respectively, the remaining 40 being divided among a spec- trum of small political parties, often with a local and regional character.

The unconditional return is a clear success for Moroccan diplomacy. In an AU press release, King Mohammed VI of Morocco said that it was high time Morocco came back home. “Africa is indispensable to Morocco and Morocco is indispensable to Africa,” he declared. Beyond the Western Sahara dispute, Morocco’s decision to return to the AU is motivated by its desire to exercise influence within this African institution. Morocco has become an active player in support Morocco has rejoined the African Union (AU) aft er 33 years as of the process of regional integration. It has concluded various the organisation’s 55th member. This means that the AU has bilateral cooperation agreements with West African countries, unified the continent again and now includes every country notably in agricultural sector investments. Long-standing plans in Africa. Nonetheless, the dispute over the Western Sahara, to build a trans-African gas pipeline from West Africa through which originally provoked Morocco to leave, remains unsolved.

  • Resolving the Chadian Political Epilepsy: an Assessment of Intervention Efforts
    Institute for Security Studies Situation Report Date issued: 1 June 2009 Author: Chrysantus Ayangafac1 Distribution: General Contact: [email protected] Resolving the Chadian Political Epilepsy: An Assessment of Intervention Efforts Chad’s political economy is littered with the wreckage of failed attempts at Introduction resolving the country’s intractable political crisis. Since independence, Chad has not witnessed any constitutional transfer of power. Its political history is a story of drawn-out conflicts with incidental cessation of hostilities, peace agreements and national elections.2 In reality, these events have merely provided an opportunity for alignment, realignment and, in the process, preparation for the next battle. The attack on N’Djamena in February 2008 might not be the last of these.3 As Chad’s belligerents flex their muscle for yet another round of a violent contest for the soul of the Chadian state, the stage seems set for renewed violence. Hopefully they are grandstanding for potential negotiation. Against this backdrop, it is imperative to interrogate whether the international community so far has been right about Chad, and, if not, why and what could be done to improve the situation? Considering the present international response to the crisis, is there any political incentive for President Déby’s regime to accommodate a robust political solution that will usher in peace; is the regime prepared to pay the political cost of peace – at least from a human security perspective? This situation report analyses and presents an update on the domestic and international responses to the Chadian crisis. It concludes that though the current policy approach is certainly not a panacea to the Chadian crisis, it is a good starting point.
