CAIRO — A member of Sudan’s ruling council raised expectations on Tuesday that the country’s deposed strongman, Omar al-Bashir, would be sent for trial on war crimes charges to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Mr. al-Bashir, who was ousted in a popular uprising last year, has been wanted by the international court since 2009 over atrocities in the restive western region of Darfur, where 300,000 people were killed and about 2.7 million displaced, beginning in 2003.

The ruling council member, Mohammed Hassan Eltaish, announced on Tuesday that the council had reached an agreement “to hand over those facing arrest from the International Criminal Court.” But he did not name Mr. al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan with an iron grip for three decades, or give any timeline for transferring him.

An official at the International Criminal Court said on Tuesday that the court had received no communication about a handover from Sudan’s government, and that there were no negotiations at the moment. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the court has not made a public statement.
