Fareed Zakaria speaks to Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad, the Sudan Ambassador to the United Nations, about his potential complicity in genocide and other war crimes committed by the Sudanese government during a heated interview.
The International Criminal Court filed charges for the first time against a sitting head of state when the chief prosecutor filed genocide charges against Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Al-Bashir has also been charged with masterminding attempts to wipe out African tribes in the war-torn region with a campaign of murder, rape and deportation. The chief prosecutor urged the panel of judges to issue a warrant for al-Bashir's arrest in July.
Sudanese government officials continue to deny the charges and reject the International Criminal Court's authority over Sudan.
