  1. Allow me to conclude by expressing our gratitude to Prosecutor Bensouda for her dedicated work and for the tireless efforts of the International Criminal Court in dealing with enormously difficult cases. Let me underline that combating impunity is an obligation of the entire international community. Therefore, the United Nations has to ensure that adequate resources are available for investigating the situations referred to the Court by the Security Council.

  2. With regard to the verdicts and sentences announced in Tripoli last July against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and other Qadhafi officials, we call on Libya to ensure that these steps do not undermine its responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the Court. We also note that the Prosecutor's Office will continue to monitor and collect information on the progress of the proceedings against Abdullah Al-Senussi. We are concerned about the allegations of torture and inhuman treatment during interrogation sessions at the Al-Habda prison, where Al-Senussi is also being held. We encourage the Libyan authorities to take measures to put an end to degrading treatment and torture, if such acts do occur, and to investigate and punish those responsible.

  3. Ensuring the safe return and protection of the Tawerghans should be seen as an important element of national reconciliation. Lithuania also welcomes and supports the ongoing dialogue on cooperation and burden-sharing between the Government of Libya and the Office of the Prosecutor. We would like to underline the importance of continuing such judicial cooperation in order to address impunity for atrocities, including through the implementation of the memorandum of understanding on burden-sharing regarding investigations and prosecutions in Libya. Lithuania thanks the Prosecutor for her update on the cases against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi. Libya should uphold its legal obligations and surrender Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi to the International Criminal Court.

  4. Many human rights defenders and journalists have fled the country, fallen silent or operate underground because of the continued attacks, threats and intimidation, abductions and arbitrary detentions. We encourage the Prosecutor and her Office to continue to monitor this situation closely. Furthermore, the barbaric crimes perpetrated by Daesh and similar groups, including massive executions, may constitute crimes under the Court's jurisdiction and have to be further monitored by the Prosecutor. We appreciate the Prosecutor's efforts to highlight the plight of internally displaced persons and, in particular, the situation of the Tawerghans. We welcome the meeting of the Misrata/Tawergha Joint Committee, held in Tunis early in September. The agreement to develop their return strategies and plans for reparations is a positive development.

  5. I wish to congratulate the United Kingdom on assuming the presidency of the Council for the month of November, and to thank Spain for its excellent work in presiding over the Council in October. I would like to thank Ms. Fatou Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), for her latest report on Libya and for her briefing today. Lithuania remains deeply concerned about the ongoing conflict in Libya. Human rights violations and abuses and violations of international humanitarian law continue across Libya. All parties to the conflict have to refrain from committing atrocities and take all necessary measures to prevent the commission of such crimes. We are seriously concerned about the continuous threats to human rights defenders, media workers and journalists.
