We were also able to meet with some state representatives including two ministers of justice and others.”

We will not give up at any cost, knowing full well that the road to justice is a long one.”
For his part, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan emphasized that “the investigation is ongoing regarding past and present crimes and that he is committed to the issue of achieving justice for the victims of Darfur, although the world sometimes seems preoccupied with other issues, but as a judicial institution their work is clear and they are committed to moving forward to achieve justice whatever the challenges.”
