If you beieve that "far reaching and potentially disaterous foreign policy implications" trump the rule of law, then you are totally and utterly unfit for public service or office.

You either respect and uphold the law or you don't (the alternative has a name - anarchy).
You do not get to pick and choose which laws you abide by and which you don't.

There is very strong evidence that Al-Bashir was directly responsible for the loss of life of tens of thousands of his own people.
How on earth can "foreign policy implications" be more important than holding him to account?

It seems that the "hole in the head" affliction affects not only the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but also those fellow Ministers who offer an opinion on the subject.
