The appeals chamber at the International Criminal Court has ordered the court to reconsider its decision to omit genocide from the arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir, The Netherlands-based ICC indicted al-Bashir on seven charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity last March, but said there was not enough evidence to charge him with three counts of genocide. Erkki Kourula, an ICC judge, said the "decision by the pre-trial chamber not to issue a warrant in the respect of the charge of genocide was materially affected by an error of law". The court's pre-trial judges will now have to rule again on whether to add genocide to list of charges against al-Bashir.
