Should the victims of some of the more brutal aspects of Bashir's regime wait for political reform to get justice? I agree and the ICC shouldn't be allowed to administer selective justice. I think the article is however insensitive to those who suffer in conflicts like Darfur, at the hands of the likes of Bashir, even if he's not solely to blame, in saying retribution should wait until their country has experienced sufficient political reform. As the head of state, accountability should start with him. I wonder if the author would feel the same if he'd been directly affected by the conflict. The ICC's execution is far from perfect but surely there must be a way to bring all war criminals to book, be it in the US or elsewhere, that takes into account the political sensibilities of the country involved.
