Sudan's Beshir Says Any ICC decision Worthless

MEROWE, Sudan (AFP) — Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir said on Tuesday he regarded any decision by the International Criminal Court on whether to seek his arrest for alleged Darfur war crimes would be worthless.
"Any decision by the International Criminal Court has no value for us," Beshir said ahead of a decision expected by the ICC on Wednesday on whether to issue an arrest warrant against him.
"It will not be worth the ink it is written on," Beshir said at the inauguration of a massive Chinese-engineered dam on the Nile north of Khartoum.
ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in July called for his arrest on charges of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Darfur, scene of a six-year conflict that has cost several hundred thousand lives.
"The Western world is targeting Sudan in order to stop... its development projects but we don't absolutely care," Beshir said. "We will respond to all these decision with new development projects."
