South Africa may leave ICC over Bashir row
Pretoria, 25 Jun - (ANA) - South Africa has said it might leave the International Criminal Court (ICC) after a row over the court's attempt to have Sudan's president arrested there. Omar al-Bashir was allowed to attend an African Union summit in South Africa despite being wanted by the ICC on charges of genocide and war crimes. After a cabinet meeting, the government said it would review membership "for a number of reasons". But it stressed it took its international obligations "seriously". A South African court had ordered Mr Bashir to stay in the country while it ruled whether he could be arrested. The government said he enjoyed diplomatic immunity. (ANA)
