The coalition known as Bashir Watch which is comprised of human rights organisations dedicated to accountability in Sudan, expressed its grave concern that Jakarta would allow Bashir to visit for the despite being wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Bashir was invited this month to participate in the Asia-Africa summit scheduled for next April which will host 109 leaders and commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1955 Asia Africa Conference, as well as the 10th anniversary of the New Asian-African Strategic Partnership (NAASP). His attendance has not yet been confirmed. Even though Indonesia is not a state party to the Rome Statute, non-member states are still encouraged to bring international fugitives to justice. The situation in Darfur was referred to the International Criminal Court by the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the UNSC Resolution 1593 (2005) which urges all members of the United Nations to fully cooperate with the court. The 31st of March 2015 will mark 10 years since this referral. As a member of the United Nations, Indonesia is obligated to act and bring Bashir to justice, the coalition s letter reads in part.

In 2014 alone, approximately half a million people have been newly displaced in Darfur, and projections for 2015 are even worse. The crimes in Darfur continue to rage, and violence has spread into other areas of Sudan, including South Kordofan and Blue Nile. Bashir has continuously blocked humanitarian Sudanese president Omer aid from getting to those in need, and many people are at risk of starvation, it adds. Hassan al-bashir takes part in an African Union health The letter noted that Indonesia pledged to ratify the Rome Statute by 2008 in its National Human Rights Action summit in Abuja on 15 July Plan, and that when this goal was not reached, it was again included in the next Plan ( ) (Photo: Getty Images) Your Excellency, as the third largest democracy in the world and a central player in the South-east Asian region, it is imperative that Indonesia promotes justice and accountability at the regional and international levels. Indonesia must demonstrate its leadership in the region and responsibility to its people by ensuring that when genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are committed, those responsible are brought to justice, the letter states. If Bashir enters Indonesia, this coalition calls on the Indonesian authorities to arrest him and transfer him to the ICC so that he can face the charges against him, it adds. Bashir cancelled a planned appearance in South-east Asian nation of Malaysia in 2011 after controversy erupted there over his possible attendance. A Malaysian official at the time said that if Bashir decided to fulfil the invitation it can be an embarrassment to Malaysia. (ST)

The Bandung Conference was preceded by a preparatory Conference at the Bogor Palace, that was supported by leaders from India, Pakistan, Ceylon (Srilangka), Burma (Myanmar) and Indonesia in 1954, known as the Bogor Conference. Those attending the First Asian African Conference were those who are inscripted in the Who s Who of Asian and African history.

Held at the height of the Cold War between the United States and Russia, - the western and eastern blocs - the Bandung Conference gained a big success both in formulating common concerns, preparing operational guidance for cooperation among Asian African Nations, as well as creating world order and world peace. The conference resulted in the Dasasila Bandung or the 10 points Bandung Declaration, in which most of the principles of the United Nations were incorporated, and which became the guideline for then still colonized countries in their fight forindependence. It also became the fundamental principles in promoting world peace and international cooperation. Related Articles

The delegates from 29 participating countries gathered in Bandung, Indonesia to discuss peace, security, and economic development in the midst of emerging problems in many parts of the world.

Each of them tried to persuade support from the countries in Asia and Africa which was known as the Cold War. The world situation, especially in Asia and Africa, was also affected by colonialism in various forms.
