carta. a community still fighting for justice. sudan's president has arrived back in the country to defy a southsouth african court order. omar a.m.al bashir was growthed by jubilant crowds as he rode through the streets on the back of a truck. came while judge was still deliberating whether to hand him over to an international criminal court for crimes against humanity. critical of attempts to send bashir to the icc. >> these attempts are made to disturb our harmony. and we believe that the sudan

government will have a firm, strict, instance against any country taking such decision. simply for this ant that it is a matter of sovereignty. we are a sovereign state. the president is elected by the people of sudan. and you have been all following all these statements of lame and meaningless. >> south africa's high court has now asked for an investigation as to how bashir was able to leave. for this i'm joined by al jazeera's famida miller. the executive and the judiciary are going to be locking horns over this. >> that sammy will most likely be the case as you had mentioned, the high court is asking for an investigation into how bashir left the country. ultimately leading to why south africa ordered ba shish bashir remained

in the country. how south african government responds to the judiciary. and if judiciary has enough authority in the country. both domestic law and international law have been called into question with regard to how south africa is responding to both of those. >> now the auc the african union argues that the icc picks and chooses its villains. how widely is that shared in the union and in the continent there? >> well, there certainly is huge sentiment at the african union summit to have signed the statute which led to the creation of the icc. those countries placed at the icc and how african states who are investigated such as kenya their heads of state the head

of sudan in this instance and african countries feel like they're targeted. asking for consensus around withdrawal from the icc. ultimately asking to create an african court of justice. where the au says the icc has no value to them. >> continuing the conversation here in the studio we have martin plow, senior research fellow at the institute of commonwealth studies. good to have you with us. >> nice to be here. >> getting around the question of whether south africa is now in breach of its statute obligations. >> it's very difficult to see how they could get round it. it is clear they are a signatory. the icc asked them to act asked

by the local court to await its decision and they flouted it. >> what do you make of the argument that the icc itself is highly criticized, it's been extremely selective in the application of justice. >> that is not point. the spoint clearly that a court in safecopoint is clearly a court insouth africa asked for the be president to be detained. and that order was not followed. >> i'm sure they'll come to some sort of conclusion in that regard. but is there a problem of referrals at the icc? >> well, you know it's like any club. you sign up to the rules of the

club. if you want to be a member and there are 120 approximately members of the international criminal court. once you sign up you agree that's the way you're going to behave. >> but the rules seem to change. they're not written in stone. >> well, you sign up, and this where itwrit which the icc has issued against omar al bashir, it's a question much what the south africans have agreed to do in advance. >> you say the rules can be changed. it's very difficult because the rules that say the referrals to the court come from the court knock likely to be referred as other countries and they're not likely to agree to change the rules that leaves their friends more vulnerable. >> that's not only way the icc can take up a case.

that is one route to the icc. but the point is frankly that the south african government which was a country which deeply believed in its own constitution and the constitution is one of the proudest achievements of the african national congress which is now in power and now it is in violation apparently of its own constitution and this all had deep consequences for south africa. because it indicates that south africa is no longer a country in which the rule of law is now the sovereign, the primary that everybody is underneath the rule of law. what will this do for people who for example want to invest in the country if they don't believe law can be enforced? >> is it noticeable how much western silence there has been over the whole issue? how much appetite is there to pursue omar al bashir? >> what silence? >> there was a lot more over the

european union -- >> no no no, both put out statements calling for south africa to enforce the international criminal court ruling. that's not silence. >> when the darfur issue has a deal been cut since omar al bashir went along with the separation of south sudan from sudan not to raise this issue so much as in the past? >> that is something one could raise, the suffering is immense thousands of people have fled from their homes and it has not received the attention both from the media and from the international community that it should have done. but you know that doesn't meanwhile that there has been no action on this. and one thing is worth wile thinking aboutworthwhilethinking about. the mafia boss vito palasolo
