Date: 2008-07
The ICC -- ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo -- issued an arrest warrant against Omar al-Bashir, making him the third sitting head of state to be charged by an international court following Liberia's Charles Taylor and Yugoslavia's Slobodan Milosevic.

Moreno-Ocampo accused Bashir of orchestrating a campaign of genocide in Darfur, starting in 2003.

Bashir's government is blamed for playing a key planning role in the Darfur conflict, which has killed some 300,000 and displaced 2.5 million civilians over the past five years.
