So-Called Tasis Involved in War Crimes in Sudan - Prominent Legal Expert

• Legal expert Dr. Mohamed Al-Zein affirmed the 'Tasis movement' is involved in and responsible for war crimes committed in Sudan.
• Sudan pursued litigation at the International Criminal Court and submitted provisional measures against the UAE at the International Court of Justice.
• Sudan's request against the UAE was rejected by the ICJ, leading to the case's removal, an outcome Dr. Al-Zein expected due to an 'international strategy' against Sudan.
• Dr. Al-Zein stated that Sudan still has opportunities before the ICJ and that Sudanese citizens in Europe can pursue war crimes cases in European courts.
• War crimes and genocide are not subject to statutes of limitations, providing a basis for ongoing international litigation.

War crimes and genocide are offenses that do not lapse under statutes of limitations, ensuring that accountability can be sought regardless of the passage of time.

A prominent legal expert, Dr. Mohamed Al-Zein, recently asserted that the entity known as the 'Tasis movement' bears direct involvement in a portion of the war crimes perpetrated in Sudan. Speaking at the 62nd briefing conference of the Ministry of Culture, Information, Tourism and Antiquities, Dr. Al-Zein specifically attributed responsibility to the Tasis movement for offenses committed throughout the ongoing Sudan war.

The conference, organized by the Sudan News Agency (SUNA) and held on a Monday at the Omdurman Cultural Center, served as a platform for Dr. Al-Zein to delve into critical topics including war crimes, genocide, and the complexities of international litigation. His statements underscore the intensifying scrutiny on various actors for their roles in the conflict, particularly regarding the severe human rights violations and atrocities that constitute war crimes in Sudan.

Dr. Al-Zein also detailed Sudan's engagement with international judicial bodies, noting that the nation has pursued litigation at the International Criminal Court. Furthermore, Sudan had submitted a request for provisional measures against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

However, this specific request by Sudan was ultimately rejected by the ICJ, leading to the removal of the case. Dr. Al-Zein indicated that this outcome at the International Court of Justice was not unexpected, attributing it to what he described as an international strategy designed to destabilize and dismantle the Sudanese state.

Despite the recent setback at the ICJ concerning the UAE, Dr. Mohamed Al-Zein maintained that Sudan retains viable opportunities for further action before the International Court of Justice. Crucially, he highlighted alternative avenues for justice, particularly for Sudanese citizens residing in Europe.

These individuals, he explained, possess the ability to pursue cases in various European courts under the principles of international litigation jurisdiction. This option is made possible because war crimes and genocide are offenses that do not lapse under statutes of limitations, ensuring that accountability can be sought regardless of the passage of time. Dr. Al-Zein also stressed the vital role of media in systematically highlighting Sudan's case to the global public, emphasizing its influence in shaping understanding and awareness of these critical legal and knowledge aspects.

Lawyers should advise clients on the ongoing international legal scrutiny of actors like the 'Tasis movement' for war crimes in Sudan, and be aware of potential alternative litigation avenues in European courts for victims, despite the ICJ's rejection of Sudan's specific request against the UAE.
