Britain wants Human Rights Violators Prosecuted Will “The Bush” Crime Family be Next?

Britain has said it wants perpetrators of atrocities in the rebel-hit Darfur region of western Sudan to be put on trial, ideally at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.Reacting to the findings of a United Nations commission, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and International Development Secretary Hilary Benn said it was "clear that violations of international human rights and grave crimes against humanity have occurred" in Darfur."The commission's findings are appalling," they said, two days after the five-member panel accused Khartoum of gross and systematic human rights violations in Darfur, but stopped short of alleging genocide."We expect the perpetrators of these terrible crimes to be brought to justice," the two ministers said. "There should be no impunity for those involved in these heinous acts." Link
