Some 45 organisations have signed up to the Wanted for War Crimes campaign.

The International Criminal Court named Humanitarian Affairs Minister Ahmed Haroun and militia leader Ali Kushayb as suspects a year ago.

Sudan has shown no sign of handing either of them over despite international pressure.

The Wanted for War Crimes campaign want the United Nations Security Council to push for the immediate arrest of the two named suspects.

They are also calling on the UN to apply targeted sanctions - such as freezing assets - on those in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, who continue to harbour them.

The campaign has issued wanted posters and is calling on people to send protest emails to the United Nations.

Campaigners were horrified when a committee headed by Ahmed Haroun was chosen to investigate human rights abuses in Darfur at the end of last year.
