Charges against them were confirmed in March 2011. <\/p>\n<p>Karim Khan explained that the defence cannot investigate properly because of Sudan's refusal to cooperate with the Court. \u201cPotential witnesses have huge difficulties to cross borders, and they say it\u2019s risky to go back to Darfur after testifying for the defence\u201d, Karim Khan said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government of Sudan not only refuses to cooperate with investigations, but has made any cooperation with the ICC a criminal offence. <\/p>\n<p>Khartoum has been opposing the ICC ever since the Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir in July 2008 for crimes allegedly committed in Darfur. <\/p>\n<p>Karim Khan claimed that the trial should be suspended until something changes.
