Dear The Global  Democracy Project,

Don't let Omar al-Bashir escape  justice.
The  U.N. Security Council may move to suspend the ICC case against him  any
day now.
_Tell  President Bush: the U.S. must veto any attempt to let al-Bashir off
the hook._ (http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/article16/ixissdn2o75bx76d?)
Last week, the Sudanese  government attacked the Kalma refugee camp in south
Darfur, killing dozens  and wounding more than 100 people.
News of this  attack coincided with reports that members of the U.N. Security
Council  may try to let Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir off the hook for his
 crimes.
Any day now, the  Security Council may seek to invoke Article 16, a provision
that can  suspend the International Criminal Court's proceedings against
al-Bashir.  We can't let al-Bashir escape accountability, and we don't have a
moment to lose.
_Demand  that the U.S. oppose and veto any attempt to suspend the case
against  al-Bashir._
(http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/article16/ixissdn2o75bx76d?)
We can't wait  for Article 16 to be invoked before we mount a campaign to
stop  it. Bashir has launched an aggressive propaganda campaign to  escape
justice. He's even trying to blackmail the global community by  threatening to expel
UNAMID peacekeepers if the ICC issues a warrant for  his arrest.
But there is simply  no justification for suspending the chief prosecutor's
case against him. The minimum conditions required to even consider it  simply
have not been met:
    *   There is no  sustainable peace in Darfur;
    *   Attacks on  civilians, humanitarian workers and peacekeepers continue
(as evidenced  by the Kalma raid);
    *   The UNAMID civilian  protection force hasn't completely or
effectively deployed.
We cannot back  down on principles like justice and accountability. Not when
it  comes to a genocide with as many as 400,000 dead and 2.5 million more
displaced.
_Click  here now to tell President Bush he must block any effort to suspend
or  undermine the legal pursuit of a war criminal like Omar  al-Bashir._

World leaders, and the  U.N. Security Council in particular, have already
failed the people of  Darfur in profound and inexcusable ways. Make sure they
don't do it again:  forward this email to your friends and family, and ask them
to  join this effort!
With your support, we  will bring peace to Darfur and hold those responsible
for this genocide  accountable. Thank you.
Best  regards,
