I want to take this opportunity to turn to Dr. Medani to elaborate a tiny bit in the little bit of time I have left.
The headwinds that the ICC and international society are facing are the usual ones, but they're legion here. The lack of co-operation from Sudanese authorities makes it hard to gather evidence; it makes it hard to get the evidence you need to be able to do trials. There's the ongoing conflict and security on the ground. There are the resource constraints. There are the usual problems with arrest warrants that I personally remember from a previous life when I was involved in this work. There are the issues around the protection of victims and witnesses. There is the blocking of humanitarian aid by all sides and the weaponization of aid. Then there are all kinds of allegations that international parties are arming one side or another.
What's the path forward?
