Surely the opinion of Darfuri refugees should be considered first.

African leaders today asked the UN security council to shelve the international criminal court's indictment of Sudanese leaders for genocide in Darfur. The African Union's peace and security council, meeting in Ethiopia, called for the creation of a panel of distinguished Africans to recommend ways to address issues of accountability and reconciliation raised by the conflict.
"The African Union requests the UN security council ... to defer the process initiated by the ICC, taking into account the need to ensure that the ongoing peace efforts are not jeopardised, as well as the fact that in the current circumstances a prosecution may not be in the interests of victims and justice," the AU council said
The international court's prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, is seeking an arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president, and other top Sudanese officials, on charges of waging a campaign of genocide and rape in Darfur.
