UNITED NATIONS (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged all nations Monday to help arrest two Sudanese accused of crimes against humanity and five Ugandans accused of abducting thousands of children and turning them into fighters or sex slaves.
Ban's appeal came before the annual two-week meeting of the International Criminal Court, the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal based in The Hague, Netherlands, which has issued warrants for the arrests of the seven men.
"I urge all member states to do everything within their powers to assist in enforcing these warrants," Ban said, stressing that "the single most important determinant of success for any international tribunals is cooperation."
