“The trial of Mr. Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Mr. Ali Kushayb, has made swift progress indeed over the last eight months. Since the trial opened, over 78 sitting days, 50 witnesses have been heard before the International Criminal Court.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Karim A. A. Khan, Prosecutor, International Criminal Court (ICC):
“These witnesses had the opportunity to confront the accused to have their accounts tested before independent, impartial judges, creating a record that will pave the way at the end of the process for a determination to be made on what took place and whether the accused is responsible.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Karim A. A. Khan, Prosecutor, International Criminal Court (ICC):
“The cooperation from the Government of Sudan is critically important if we are to meet the needs of the people of Darfur. And the unfortunate truth - and it brings me no pleasure at all to say it - is that the government of Sudan is not meeting the requirements of cooperation set out by this Council under Chapter Seven of the charter in resolution 1593, all those years ago in 2005.”

“It's my unfortunate duty to say that cooperation has deteriorated, not improved, since my last briefing.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Karim A. A. Khan, Prosecutor, International Criminal Court (ICC):
“Anybody who seeks to frustrate the work of the court through non-cooperation will not be successful, and this is why we have tried to the best of our ability to build new partnerships, to go to third states to go to international organizations to strengthen the evidential base, from a variety of other sources. And I'm pleased to note that in the last reporting period, we have significantly strengthened that cooperation, and it is paying dividends.”
11. Med shot, delegates
12. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Sudan:
“I would like to clarify that the challenges mentioned by the prosecutor in his report related to Sudan's cooperation with his office are primarily a result of the current circumstances in Sudan and the challenges related to the exceptional transitional phase. The Council knows this well. We are confident that resuming the democratic transition soon and forming a civilian government will positively reflect our cooperation with the ICC.”

STORYLINE:
Briefing the Security Council today (25 Jan) on the International Criminal Court (ICC) Darfur-related activities, the ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that the cooperation with the government of Sudan has deteriorated.
He said, “The cooperation from the Government of Sudan is critically important if we are to meet the needs of the people of Darfur. And the unfortunate truth - and it brings me no pleasure at all to say it - is that the government of Sudan is not meeting the requirements of cooperation set out by this Council under Chapter Seven of the charter in resolution 1593, all those years ago in 2005.”
Despite the commitments made during his last visit to Sudan in August 2022, the prosecutor said that access to the country has become more difficult, access to documentation and witness remains restricted, and the formal establishment of an ICC office in Khartoum is still pending approval.
Khan stressed, “Anybody who seeks to frustrate the work of the court through non-cooperation will not be successful, and this is why we have tried to the best of our ability to build new partnerships, to go to third states to go to international organizations to strengthen the evidential base, from a variety of other sources. And I'm pleased to note that in the last reporting period, we have significantly strengthened that cooperation, and it is paying dividends.”
Representing his country at the Security Council, Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed, Permanent Representative f Sudan to the United Nations, said, “I would like to clarify that the challenges mentioned by the prosecutor in his report related to Sudan's cooperation with his office are primarily a result of the current circumstances in Sudan and the challenges related to the exceptional transitional phase. The Council knows this well. We are confident that resuming the democratic transition soon and forming a civilian government will positively reflect our cooperation with the ICC.”
The ICC Prosecutor said that tangible progress was made on the trial of Abd-Al-Rahman over the last eight months.
Since the trial opened, over 78 sitting days, 50 witnesses have been heard before the International Criminal Court.
He noted, “These witnesses had the opportunity to confront the accused to have their accounts tested before independent, impartial judges, creating a record that will pave the way at the end of the process for a determination to be made on what took place and whether the accused is responsible.”
Khan confirmed to the Council that the prosecution will conclude its case in the coming weeks and that the final submission is anticipated to be made next month.
The pace of this trial makes it the most efficient since the establishment of the Court.
