This six-minute micro-documentary explores the tensions between humanitarian NGOs, like CARE and Save the Children, and advocates for international justice.  The president of Save the Children, Charles MacCormack, describes his organization’s explusion from Sudan by President Bashir after the  International Criminal Court charged Bashir with crimes against humanity in March 2009.   ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo argues that President Bashir expelled these groups, not because of any real cooperation between the NGOs and his office, but to pressure the international community. Ken Roth, president of Human  Rights Watch, calls for a “parallel partnership” between humanitarian NGOs and the ICC, to prevent collaboration from compromising any group.  Leading figures in both the justice and humanitarian movements debate whether dialogue is possible across these lines, raising both practical and ethical questions.
