It wants Justice and Equality Movement leaders living abroad to be handed over to the authorities in Khartoum.
Meanwhile, the officer heading Darfur's peace force says Saturday's raid in which more than 200 people died will set the Darfur peace process back.
He told the BBC it would harden attitudes and bring more suffering.

Human rights activists say they are concerned about people being mistreated, tortured or even killed.
They say hundreds of Darfuris are being rounded up.
