Nearly two months have passed since the Sudanese government thumbed its nose at President Bush's January 1st deadline to cooperate with international peacekeeping efforts and it is time to act. The President's top advisors must guide him in taking the steps required to stop the violence in Darfur. That is why I'm asking you to take just a few minutes out of your busy day to call Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates to urge them both to launch "Plan B" before more lives are lost. Calling Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Dial (202) 647-6575 and press 1 Use the talking points below: I'm calling because I am concerned about the violence in Darfur, Sudan. I urge Secretary Rice to implement "Plan B" without further delay. Nearly two months have passed since the President's January 1st deadline for the Sudan to cooperate - it's time to act. Click here to report your call to us - it is crucial for us to know how many calls were made. Calling Defense Secretary Robert Gates Dial (703) 428-0711 Use the talking points below: I'm calling because I am concerned about the violence in Darfur, Sudan. I urge Secretary Gates to implement "Plan B" without further delay. Nearly two months have passed since the President's January 1st deadline for the Sudan to cooperate - it's time to act. Click here to report your call to us - it is crucial for us to know how many calls were made. Please be polite - unlike the White House comment line operators, the staff in these offices are not used to dealing with large volumes of phone calls from concerned citizens. Your message is much more likely to reach its target if you are friendly and patient. Without tough, coercive "Plan B" measures to accompany diplomacy, the international community's efforts to end the violence in Darfur are doomed to fail. That is why we need your help to make sure the President's top advisors get the message ASAP. Please follow the steps above to make your phone calls and then don't forget to report your calls back to us using the links above. Thank you again for your support.

Chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo is expected to submit to pre-trial judges evidence against several individuals of war crimes and crimes against humanity to support arrest warrants or summonses. He is due to hold a news conference at 1300 GMT. Moreno-Ocampo said in December his investigators had found evidence of rape, torture, murder and sexual violence in Darfur. His announcement will be closely watched to see if he charges government figures as well as rebels. "We eagerly await the prosecutor's recommendations for holding those responsible for the gravest crimes fully accountable," said Sudanese human rights lawyer Osman Hummaida. Experts say some 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million others driven from their homes in Darfur since 2003, when rebels took up arms against the government, charging it with neglect. Khartoum says about 9,000 people have died. In March 2005, the U.N. Security Council asked the ICC to launch an investigation into the violence in Darfur, which the United States has called genocide, a charge Khartoum denies. "I hope the message that goes out from this action is that the days of absolute impunity that have existed for horrific crimes committed in Darfur are coming to an end," said Richard Dicker of New York-based Human Rights Watch. U.N. and African Union observers blame pro-government militias, known as Janjaweed, for the worst atrocities. NO JURISDICTION? Sudan's Justice Minister Mohamed Ali al-Mardi was quoted as saying on Monday the ICC had no jurisdiction over its nationals and it would not allow anybody, including rebels, to be tried outside Sudan. Sudanese media also reported Khartoum would put several people on trial next week, including military personnel and paramilitary troops, for suspected involvement in attacks in Darfur. Moreno-Ocampo has said he would examine whether Sudan's government is conducting its own judicial proceedings over Darfur as the ICC is only supposed to prosecute when national courts are unwilling or unable to act. Rights groups say Khartoum's own investigations and tribunals for crimes in Darfur have been largely for show. Moreno-Ocampo has so far only charged rebels involved in conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Some analysts suggest Khartoum has resisted pressure to authorize a deployment of thousands of U.N. peacekeepers to support a 7,000-strong African Union mission in Darfur because it fears U.N. soldiers might be used to arrest ICC suspects. The ICC, the world's first permanent war crimes court, started work in 2002 and is now supported by 104 nations, although still not by big powers Russia, China and the United States. Washington fiercely opposed the creation of the ICC, fearing it would be used for politically motivated prosecutions of its citizens. The Darfur case was seen as a turning point for the court as Washington refrained from blocking the Security Council referral. http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/lisaravenscraft/BrS http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/lisaravenscraft/BrS/commentary#comments Mon, 26 Feb 2007 21:07:51 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/lisaravenscraft/BrS Lisa http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/bf1c4f29bad28ac572_j3zmv2yph.jpg Lisa 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/BrS/
