UN Secretary-general Ban Ki- moon on Monday said he is 'deeply concerned' by the nature of the charges reaffirmed against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir by the International Criminal Court (ICC), a UN spokesman told reporters here. The ICC issued a second arrest warrant against Bashir, charging him with three counts of genocide committed against the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa ethnic groups in the Sudanese region of Darfur, the court announced on its website on Monday. UN associate spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters that the secretary-general calls on the government of Sudan 'to provide its full support to the work of the International Criminal Court, and to address issues of justice and reconciliation.' In March 2009, the ICC issued its first arrest warrant against the Sudanese president for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. The three counts of genocide announced by the ICC on Monday include: 'genocide by killing, genocide by causing serious bodily or mental harm and genocide by deliberately inflicting on each target group conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction.' Farhan noted that the 'ICC is an independent body and the substance of the charges is a judicial matter.' The secretary- general had no comment on the substance of the charges, 'out of respect for the due process of law,' he added. Meanwhile, Ban reiterated his calls on all parties to the peace process 'to reach a comprehensive and inclusive agreement, addressing the root causes of the conflict and issues pertaining to justice, compensation and returns,' Farhan said. Established in July 2002, the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction in three categories namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes -- the court's indictments only target individuals responsible for committing these crimes.
