He made the remarks after an emergency meeting of Arab foreign ministers on the ICC's move against President Omar al-Bashir.

Amr Moussa, Arab League Secretary General, said, "The decision taken by the International Criminal Court provokes the anger of the Arab League. We will stand in solidarity to face any threats against Sudan's unity and stability. We regret that the UN Security Council failed to use Article 16 of the basic statue of the International Criminal Court to defer the action."
