“The government has decided to hand over Bashir and other criminals to the ICC after the adoption of the ICC procedures,” Minister of Federal Affairs Buthaina Dinar said at a news conference.
He said the handover would follow the end of Bashir’s trial on corruption and other crimes in local courts.
Bashir and three officials were indicted by The Hague-based court on charges, including war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
