澳大利亚前外长加雷斯·埃文斯已经认为逮捕令是“强有力的外交工具 ” ， 《华盛顿邮报》则表示可以把逮捕令当成“和巴希尔先生以及他的中国和阿拉伯盟友讨价还价的筹码”来使用。
Gareth Evans, a former Australian Foreign Minister, has called it “a powerful diplomatic tool,” while the Washington Post has called for the warrant to be used “as a bargaining chip with Mr. Bashir and his Chinese and Arab allies.”
