FIDH and its member organisations the African Centre For Justice and Peace Studies and Human Rights in China have called on these heads of state and UN officials to refuse any invitation to an event where Al Bashir will be present, as per their obligations set out in UN and ASP [1] guidelines. We also call on China, as a member of the UN Security Council - the body which referred the situation in Sudan to the ICC [2] and is responsible for upholding international peace - to withdraw Al Bashir’s invitation and arrest him should he land on Chinese soil.
