1. “However, it is gratifying to note the approach being taken by the Court — to invoke the principle of complementarity — which is a core principle of the Rome Statute. By engaging with the relevant Libyan national authorities, the Court has taken a positive step in confidence-building that can yield the desired results. After all, it is primarily the responsibility of States to protect their citizens, and, accordingly, the State must be consulted in such matters. We therefore encourage the Court to continue to work with the Libyan judicial system and provide the needed technical and capacity-building support. It is certain that the independence of these national courts should be paramount in capacity-building efforts.”

2. “First, we reiterate the shared conviction that impunity cannot and must not be allowed to stand wherever it occurs and by whomsoever it is claimed. In this respect, we reaffirm the position that all individuals facing ICC arrest warrants for alleged crimes committed in Libya, including genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity, should be made to face the course of justice and given an opportunity to account for their actions or inactions as they relate to the very serious crimes for which they have been indicted. Secondly, while calling on the Court to carry out its mandate enshrined in the Security Council referral (resolution 1970 (2011)), Ghana notes the challenges facing the Court in the light of the current complex political and security situation in Libya.”

3. “I would like to join previous speakers in thanking Mr. Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), for presenting the twenty-third report to the Council, and in welcoming Ambassador Elsonni of Libya to today’s meeting. Ghana notes with appreciation the well-structured report and its proactive approach towards dealing with the situation in Libya. Of particular importance is the chapter that deals with the way forward, as this gives a sense of direction to Council members on the approach that the Court intends to adopt in conducting its investigations and dealing with the issues. On the substantive issues raised in the report, Ghana wishes to highlight the following three points.”
