The Prosecutor's application for the issuance of an arrest warrant against President Al Bashir contains three charges of genocide, five charges of crimes against humanity and two charges of war crimes allegedly committed against the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa peoples since March 2003. The author discusses the appropriateness of the legal characterization of crimes in Darfur as genocide.
