their obligation was to arrest president al-bashir. reporter: the icc and human rights advocates consider al-bashir a brutal dictator. in 1989, he staged a coup in sudan, establishing a strictly authoritarian regime. but his indictments at the icc relate to sudan's western darfur region where al-bashir is accused of waging a bloody campaign to crush the insurgency. as many as 300,000 people died in the conflict and millions were forced to flee. al-bashir was in south africa to attend an african union summit. before leaving, he posed for a group photo with other african leaders, including the south african president, jacob zuma. the south african government is facing criticism at home and abroad for defying its own judiciary and allowing al-bashir to walk free. brian: what went wrong? our -- a spokesman at the international criminal court is joining us live on the line from the head. did the icc really believe that omar al-bashir was going to be arrested in south africa and finally face the charges against him? >> just before answering

omar al-bashir arrived in khartoum in the last 30 minutes. his sharp exit from a military airport came while a judge was still deliberating on whether to hand him over to the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. south africa's high court has now asked for an investigation into how bashir was able to leave. well sudan's foreign minister has been speaking, and was a few minutes ago critical of sending bashir to the icc. >> she's attempts are meant to disturb our harmony and we believe that the sudan government will have a firm strict instance against any country taking such a decision simply for the reason that it's a matter of sovereignty. we're a sovereign state. the president is elected by the people of sudan. all of these statements are lame and meaningless. >> we're live from johannesburg in south africa. bashir's departure leaves the executive judiciary in a bit of conflict doesn't it? >> well, that's exactly the case sami and that's the concern with how regard the south african government, and what extent it respects

although it is still not established whether or not al bashir was on the plane. the sudanese president is wanted by the icc for war crimes, and a court case is on the way in pretoria, compelling the south african government to arrest him. human rights activists has said he must be detained before he has a chance to leave the country. our correspondent joins us now. do you have any more on where the sudanese president actually is? >> well, i have literally just stepped out of court, and the lawyer acting for the south african government has stalled a full bench of the high court and that is three judges hearing this matter, that there is still no official confirmation from government officials, whether sudanese president omar al-bashir has left south africa. he is saying that he does not have official confirmation. halla: if it transpires that he has left, as many as the -- as many of these reports are suggesting the whole proceedings become somewhat academic, don't they? ayesha: that is correct. however, if he has left south africa, the south african government w

it's only a few hours ago that the government said oh, yes omar al-bashir has left the country. prior to that they said we have no knowledge of where he is. no knowledge of whether or not he is in the country. that's been frustrating for south africans because there is protocol that goes along with the foreign foreign heads ever state being in the country. there is concern. >> thank you very much for joining us with that update from joes hansberg. well patrick stewart is the icc prosecutor. i asked him what was the reaction there for south africa's failure top arrest of omar al-bashir. >> the prosecutor, of course, expected that they would fulfill their obligations under the statute, and arrest president al-bashir, but that did not happen. so of course we're disappointed, but not discouraged. not in the east. >> i mean, the icc asked south africa to do everything in its power to stop bashir from leaving, and it didn't. why was that, do you think? >> i think you should put that to the south african authorities, not to me. >> but it seems to be a problem that we're seeing across a
