Refer the Darfur Genocide to
the International Criminal Court.
It is time for the world to come together and take
action. We can no longer watch, discuss and debate while hundreds of
thousands die in Darfur.
Secretary of State Colin Powell declared that genocide
is underway in Darfur. We must act now to prevent
further deaths and bring a halt to the violence and killing. To do this
we must work at the international level to bring an end to these
atrocities. The U.S. should employ all our
diplomatic tools to pressure the Sudanese government to stop the killing
and hold those responsible accountable.

One critical tool in the fight against impunity is the
International Criminal Court, which could take up a case against the Janjaweed
and their government supporters if the Security Council asked it to.
The first step would be a UN Commission of Inquiry which will collect the
evidence immediately and begin to compile names of those responsible.
Following the
Commission’s report, a UN Security Council referral to the
International Criminal Court would be required to bring the case to the
ICC.
Tell Secretary Powell and your Senators that the U.S.
needs to support a UN Security Council referral to the International
Criminal Court to bring peace and justice to Darfur, Sudan.
