The fact that a panel of judges representing the 108 governments that are parties to the ICC has accused Bashir of principal responsibility for the crimes committed in Darfur during the past six years undermines the legitimacy of his continued rule. Those crimes have caused more than 300,000 deaths, and have forcibly displaced at least another 2.7 million people.
代表ICC成员方108个国家政府的法官团指控巴希尔应对过去6年来在达尔富尔犯下的罪行负首要责任。这样的指控本身就会损害他继续执政的合法性。这些罪行已经造成30万人死亡，并使得270万人流离失所。即便同情巴希尔的各国首脑们成功劝说联合国安理会延迟对其起诉—可能性极小—这些指控也会继续悬在巴希尔的头上挥之不去，除非（直到）他出庭受审。
