SECURITY COUNCIL URGES LIBYAN AUTHORITIES TO WORK TOWARDS RELEASE OF
DETAINED ICC STAFF
New York, Jun 15 2012 2:05PM
The Security Council today urged Libyan authorities to work towards
the immediate release of four staff members of the International
Criminal Court (ICC) who have been detained in the country for over a
week.

The four staff members travelled to the North African nation on
Wednesday, 6 June, to meet with Saif Al-Islam Qadhafi in Zintan, in
part as a privileged visit by the Office of Public Counsel for the
Defence, currently appointed to represent Mr. Qadhafi in the case
brought against him.

Mr. Qadhafi, the son of former Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhafi, and
the country's former intelligence chief, Abdullah Al Sanousi, have
been indicted by the ICC in relation to attacks against protesters and
rebels during Libya's pro-democracy uprising last year.

Council members "urge Libyan authorities at all levels and all
concerned to work towards immediate release of all the ICC staff
members," the 15-member body said in a press statement.

It added that it is the legal obligation of Libya under Security
Council resolution 1970, which referred the situation in Libya to the
ICC last year, to cooperate fully with and provide any necessary
assistance to the Court.

A delegation from the ICC, which is based in The Hague, visited the
four detained staff members in Zintan on Tuesday and reported that
they were in good health and treated well.

"The ICC welcomes the assistance provided by the Libyan authorities to
date. The Court is very keen to address any regrettable
misunderstandings on either side about the delegation's mandate and
activities during its mission in Libya," it stated in a
<"http://www.icc-cpi.int/NR/exeres/64EFE7B7-5951-4102-BF03-B1C758EB1AD0.htm">news
release.

"The ICC expresses its strong hope that the release of the four
detained persons will take place with no delay, in the spirit of the
cooperation that has existed between the Court and the Libyan
authorities," it added.

The ICC is an independent, permanent court that investigates and
prosecutes persons accused of the most serious crimes of international
concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes if
national authorities with jurisdiction are unwilling or unable to do
so genuinely.
