  1. “Our concerns regarding the ICC and the situation in Afghanistan are well known. Our position in no way diminishes the commitment of the United States to supporting accountability for atrocity crimes, violations of international humanitarian law and gross Violations of human rights.”

  2. “We continue to call for de-escalation, a ceasefire, economic reforms and an improvement in the security environment, and we condemn all acts of violence against the Libyan people and the United Nations workers who are trying to help the country achieve stability. The United States has historically been and will continue to be a strong supporter of meaningful accountability and justice for Victims of atrocities through appropriate mechanisms. The perpetrators of atrocity crimes must face justice, but we must also be careful to recognize the right tool for each situation. I must reiterate our long-standing and principled objection to any assertion of the ICC's jurisdiction over nationals of States that are not party to the Rome Statute, in the absence ofa Security Council referral or the consent of such States.”

  3. “Libya's political and security instability has created an environment conducive to human rights abuses. In an effort to address the root causes of these atrocities, the United States continues to support a rapid return to a political process. We thank Special Representative Salame for his ongoing efforts to secure a negotiated political solution to this crisis. Mr. Salame and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya team face great physical risk in the work they are doing. We were reminded of this by the terrorist attack that killed three United Nations employees in Benghazi a few months ago, as well as by the recent air strike, in violation of the United Nations arms embargo, that nearly hit the United Nations compound in Tripoli.”

  4. “We strongly support accountability for any crimes that have been committed, including by officials and senior leaders involved in those networks. The United States Government continues to receive other reports of potential human rights abuses in Libya, including accounts of arbitrary killings, forced disappearances, unlawful detention, torture and sexual violence perpetrated by multiple militia groups and security forces, including people in leadership and command positions. The current conflict in Libya has had a destabilizing humanitarian effect, resulting in an increased number of displaced persons, including the migrant and refugee population. Prolonging that conflict will further strain the provision of basic services to the population and will contribute to political insecurity and instability.”

  5. “Accountability for those architects of Libya's darkest days would ensure that the Libyan Victims of their atrocities are not forgotten. It would also deliver a powerful message of deterrence to future abusers and to those involved in the current conflict who may be guilty of atrocities. We regret that collectively we have little to show in the service of justice for the Libyan people and remedying the suffering that they have endured at the hands of those individuals. Beyond those four cases, violence and abuses continue in Libya today. Human traffickers and smugglers prey on the most vulnerable, especially migrants, refugees and asylum- seekers in Libya. A civil war continues to rage, and the number of civilian casualties and injuries is escalating.”

  6. “I thank the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) for her briefing. It is shameful that several of the most notorious perpetrators of crimes against the Libyan people this past decade continue to enjoy impunity. Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi, Mahmoud Al-Werfalli, Al-Tuhamy Mohamed Khaled and Abdullah Al-Senussi must face justice for their alleged crimes. We call on the individual Libyans or groups that are harbouring Al-Qadhafi and Al-Werfalli to deliver them to Libyan authorities immediately. We also call on those who are sheltering Al-Tuhamy, former head of Libya's notorious Internal Security Agency, to end their protection of that perpetrator. We are also closely watching the Libyan Supreme Court's case against Abdullah Al-Senussi.”
