“The Council mandated the Prosecutor’s investigation in Libya and, in order to ensure accountability for serious international wrong-doing, the United Kingdom will remain steadfast in its commitment to accountability for atrocity crimes in all situations in which they are committed. We will continue to work with the Prosecutor and with international partners to end impunity. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to Prosecutor Khan to respond to comments.”

“The United Kingdom welcomes in particular the prioritization of the Libyan investigation and the announcement of additional resources, which we hope will accelerate progress towards justice for victims. The United Kingdom commends the Prosecutor’s work in cooperating with national authorities and his intention to develop such partnerships further, including in assisting prosecutions at the national or regional level, where that is appropriate. We reiterate our call on all relevant States, including States parties to the Rome Statute and States not party to it, to cooperate with the ICC and surrender individuals subject to arrest warrants.”

“Human rights must be fully protected in Libya. We must maintain our commitment to the victims of the past eleven years. The ICC investigation is an important contribution to transitional justice, which is critical to the success of the political process and in the interests of all Libyans. The United Kingdom calls on the Libyan authorities to cooperate with the ICC investigation and Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya. Access to sites, evidence and witnesses free from intimidation is necessary for progress to be made. The United Kingdom supports the Prosecutor’s renewed strategy and the principles on which he will take forward the investigation.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. Like others, I would like to start by thanking Prosecutor Karim Khan for his important briefing today on the occasion of the twenty-third report of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the situation in Libya. The United Kingdom gives its full support to the Prosecutor’s ongoing investigations, and I welcome both the Prosecutor’s briefing and his report as a demonstration of transparency to the Security Council. As the report sets out, there is credible evidence of the ongoing commission of widespread, serious crimes in Libya, including crimes of conflict-related sexual violence. The United Kingdom condemns those reprehensible acts and calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.”
