Abstract
Yesterday was a breathtaking one for global criminal justice. First, British police arrested Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London and then, just hours later, the Sudanese military arrested President Omar al-Bashir, ending his almost thirty-year reign there. Both men were fugitives; the United States has indicted Assange for conspiracy to commit computer intrusion while the International Criminal Court (ICC) wants al-Bashir for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
What comes next in these two cases? And what do they tell us about the challenges of cross-border law enforcement?
