Sudan: Al Bashir Case - ICC Appeals Chamber to Deliver Its Judgment On Jordan's Appeal

The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court will on 6 May 2019 deliver its judgment on the appeal by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan against Pre-Trial Chamber II's decision of 11 December 2017 in the Al Bashir case.

The appeal arose from the decision of ICC Pre-Trial Chamber II, which found that Jordan, a State Party to the ICC Rome Statute since 2002, failed to comply with its obligations under the Statute by not executing the Court's request for the arrest of Omar Al-Bashir and his surrender to the Court while he was on Jordanian territory attending the League of Arab States' Summit on 29 March 2017. The Pre-Trial Chamber decided to refer the matter of Jordan's non-compliance to the Assembly of States Parties and the United Nations Security Council. On 12 March 2018, Jordan appealed this decision. Subsequently, the Appeals Chamber invited Sudan, Mr Al Bashir, other states and international organisations as well as law experts to submit observations on the matters raised in the appeal.
