The International Criminal Court (ICC) has announced that its first major hearings in the case of Ali Kosheib is scheduled to open on May 24, 2021.
Kosheib, a leader of the “Janjaweed” militia who also held commanding positions in Sudan’s auxiliary Popular Defense Forces and Central Reserve Police, faces ICC charges on more than 50 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur. He voluntarily surrendered to the court last June.
The ICC further said the Prosecutor, the Defence, the Office of Public Counsel for the Victims and the joint Legal representatives of the victims will make oral submissions before the judges to present their arguments on the merits.
The International Criminal Court’s first major hearings in the case of Ali Kosheib on May 24, 2021 are an important step toward justice for grave crimes committed in Darfur, Sudan.
