United Nations:
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is excoriating the UN Security Council for its failure to take action to bring Sudan's President Oman al-Bashir and others accused of war crimes in Darfur to justice.
Fatou Bensouda demanded "a dramatic shift" in the approach to arresting suspects.
She told the council on Tuesday that close to 10 years after its members referred the conflict in western Sudan to the court, "systematic and widespread crimes continue to be committed with total impunity in Darfur."
Bensouda said "time is long overdue for the government of the Sudan's consistent defiance of UN Security Council resolutions to be matched by this council's decisive action."
Sudan's leader has been indicted by the court on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
