Judges at the International Criminal Court have decided to indite and issued a warrant for the arrest of Sudan's President for war crimes in Darfur. President Bashir was charged with crimes against humanity , war crimes and genocide, for actions in Sudan's Darfur region.

I think the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant against President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan is a major step toward peace process and for justice of Darfur. This is a step towards the development of international justice as the courts have made it clear that heads of state are not beyond the reach of the law. I believe that we as liberals have to continue on the promotion of this processes as to make clear that the rule of law is meant to be for all citizens around the globe. Even though the rule of law is respected in many places around the world, disrespect for it, remains as a big challenge for many countries and citizens worldwide.

And a as sort of invitation

It is a very good tool that reflects not only youth perspective for communications but also its becoming an important victory for the organisation itself. At first sight, you will see an interesting design and those of you that would like to practice Portuguese will also find some very interesting content. http://www.juventudedemocratas.org.br/revista/2009_001/index.html

IPL from Peru has created a new website www.libertadparacuba.org . After the experience of some members being expelled from the Cuban regime last December, IPL decided to increase their commitment with the visibility of the extremely difficult situation that citizens of the island are facing. They, in a joint effort with other institutions, and our IFLRY Cuba Project Manager, are working on increase the awareness. The website is in Spanish with very interesting content.

Finally, I would like to send a solidarity message to all young liberal women all over the world on the upcoming celebration of the international women's day the 8th of march. I would like to encourage all of us to continue, in a joint effort with people from around the world, working and leading towards the promotion of liberal values.
