  1. “That can be done, first, by providing the national institutions responsible for applying the law with the support they need so that they can play their full role in strengthening security and stability; secondly, by eradicating the various factors and conditions that result in crimes and violations; thirdly, by confiscating the tools that are used to commit those crimes, especially weapons; and fourthly, by eliminating terrorist and all other outlaw groups. In conclusion, we reaffirm that the Libyan authorities are committed and eager to punish the perpetrators of crimes and combat impunity, while applying legal rules that reflect the rule of law. The Libyan judiciary is independent, impartial and capable of carrying out criminal and social justice in order to ensure the rights of victims and end impunity. The meeting rose at 11.35 am.”

  2. “In that regard, we want to stress that in order for our national judiciary to meet its obligations with regard to achieving justice and promoting the rule of law, we need the international community's serious support in helping the Libyan authorities to end our country's current security crisis, in conjunction with the efforts being made to unify our institutions and ultimately enable the political process to succeed.”

  3. “However, we want to emphasize that the delay is not the result of any unwillingness on the part of the national judiciary to prosecute and punish the perpetrators of the crimes in question, but is rather due to the security conditions that Libya is dealing with and that all countries that have experienced conflict are familiar with. Our national judiciary has actually prosecuted many of the accused, and the various verdicts have led to the conviction and punishment of some and the acquittal of others.”

  4. “In that spirit, the principle of complementarity was established between the International Criminal Court and national legal systems, meaning that at this stage, although Libya is not party to the Rome Statute, the Court complements our national criminal judiciary in order to ensure justice. At the same time, we also underscore the principle of Libya's State sovereignty with regard to the application of its local laws for crimes committed within its territory. We are fully aware that there is some delay in the pursuit and prosecution of suspects.”

  5. “Mr. Fares (Libya) (spoke in Arabic): First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of November. I am also pleased to thank Ms. Fatou Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, for her briefing. We are here today to focus on a single objective, which is combating impunity. The Rome Statute established a regime between our national and international legal systems designed to prosecute the perpetrators of the most serious crimes - war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
