The International Criminal Court has said that Jordan will not be referred to the UN Security Council for failing to arrest the former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on war crimes charges.

The split decision by the five judge panel reverses a previous decision by the ICC.

But the court did uphold a reprimand of Jordan for not arresting Mr Bashir in 2017 when he attended an Arab League Summit in Amman, despite there being two international warrants for his arrest.
