International court issues warrant for Sudan President

Tweet

The international criminal court has issued a warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for crimes against humanity. This is first time the international court has issued a warrant for a sitting president. Do you think they have the right to arrest a sitting president? If so what stops them from arresting any leader of a country that they do not agree with or like. I do think what is going on in Darfur is horrible. But does the international court actually have the right to go in and take the president out and arrest him? Isn't it up to the people of that country to decide these matters? The court is saying that as long as he stays in his country they will not go after him, but that if he leaves his country for any reason he will be immediately arrested. Some countries are so upset by this warrent that they are threatening to pull out of the international court. Is the international court over stepping its bounds? What do you think will end up happening?
