Description
With Resolution 1593, the Security Council sent the Darfur crisis in Sudan to the International Criminal Court in 2005. Reports described mass killings, burned villages, and huge numbers of people driven from their homes. It was the first time the Council used the court this way.
The text orders Sudan and the fighting parties to cooperate with the court's prosecutor and judges. It also shields some foreign peacekeepers from the court's reach, a compromise that helped the vote pass. Readers get the founding moment of a famous case that later brought charges against Sudan's own president.
