"Madam President, a state party to the International Criminal Court must ensure its commitment to its obligations and international law. Ignoring these principles, however, Kenya defied the Court’s decision to arrest the Sudanese President.
The situation is a delicate one, and past and future events both play a part. Its neighbouring countries make a priority of good relations with Sudan, even at the expense of international law. At the same time, the millions of victims of the Darfur conflict deserve justice and relief from their suffering. Furthermore, there follows an important phase in the implementation of the peace agreement concluded in 2005: the vote in January on autonomy for Southern Sudan. Whatever the referendum results in, it will be difficult to avoid unrest. It may be possible to prevent a repeat of the disaster across Darfur with a little prudent assistance.
That is why I now want to seek a greater role for the EU in Sudan, given the criticism of Kenya’s decision. We must show that the EU robustly and tangibly supports the implementation of the peace agreement. Alongside that, the EU must commit to election monitoring in the referendum in January, right through the process, from registering voters to counting the final votes, and prepare for a state of emergency in Sudan."@en1
