Supreme Court dismisses the state's appeal
Loading player...
The Supreme Court of Appeal has dismissed the state’s appeal against a high court ruling that government’s failure to arrest Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir was inconsistent with its constitutional duties. When Bashir entered South Africa last June for an African Union summit, the SA Litigation Centre approached the high court for an order that government enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant on him. On June 15, the High Court in Pretoria ordered the government to arrest Bashir and said its failure to do so would be unconstitutional. Despite this, he was allowed to leave the country.
