Chávez joined the Arab League in rejecting the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court on Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur. Even though Venezuela is a signatory to the ICC since 1998, Chávez insists that the ICC “has no power to make a decision against a sitting president, but does so because it is an African country, the third world.”
Not one to demure, Chávez then went further, and invited al-Bashir to Caracas (my translation):
"Today I talked to al-Bashir and I asked him what risks does he run when he travels around here. I invited him to Caracas but told him, 'I hope you don't have any problems over there'."
His speech, which was the only speech applauded before it started, also called for the ICC to prosecute former U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli President Shimon Peres.Update:
I played the audio of Chávez speech in Spanish and translated to English during my morning podcast. You can listen to it here.
