This comes after Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir left the country in contradiction of a court order to have him arrested when he was attending the 25th African Union Summit in Johannesburg at the beginning of the month.

When President Bashir attended summit, the ICC released a statement calling on the South African government to fulfil its obligations to the Roman Statute by arresting him after the court issued international warrants against him for human rights violations in his country.

Addressing media following the Cabinet meeting held yesterday, the Minister said South Africa noted contradictions in various articles in the Rome Statute of the ICC on indemnity for Heads of State.
