African Union in rift with international court
The African Union says it will halt co-operation with the International Criminal
Court over its decision to charge Sudan's leader with war crimes.
President Omar al-Bashir was indicted over alleged atrocities in the Darfur
region in March.
But delegates to an AU meeting in Libya agreed a resolution saying they would
not co-operate in his arrest.
Analysts say the move means the Sudanese leader can travel across the
continent without fear of arrest.
The Sudanese government has been fighting rebels in Darfur since 2003.
The ICC has accused President Bashir of two counts of war crimes -
intentionally directing attacks on civilians and pillage - as well as five counts of
crimes against humanity, including murder, rape and torture, related to the
conflict.
He denies the allegations, saying the state has a responsibility to fight rebels.
