Disgusting. Bashir gets away with genocide with UN approval.
UNITED NATIONS, July 31 - The UN Security Council is set to renew a mandate for peacekeepers in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region on Thursday in a resolution calling for redoubled efforts to end a five-year humanitarian disaster.

The 15 council members struck a deal on a revised British draft resolution after Western powers agreed to include wording that echoes African Union concerns that International Criminal Court moves to indict Sudan’s President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for war crimes could derail the fragile Darfur peace process.

The resolution makes it clear the council is ready to discuss suspending any future ICC genocide indictment of Bashir in the interest of peace in Darfur.

Western diplomats said the resolution would likely be adopted unanimously when the council meets at 1900 GMT. Sudan’s U.N. Ambassador Abdalmahmoud Abdalhaleem told Reuters it was an ”acceptable” text for Khartoum.
