can be such leaders in present time. Omar al-Bashir, president of Sudan, causes us to re-think this assumption. He was born on January 1, 1944 in Hoshe Bannaga, Sudan (CNN Library 2015).

crimes—three charges of genocide. Disturbingly, to this day, al-Bashir is still a sitting head of his state and has yet to be arrested. This is in whole due to the fact that Sudan is not a party to the Roman Statute, even though they signed, they did not ratify.
