  1. “Al-Tuhamy Mohamed Khaled, who is accused of being responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Libya. We stress the importance ofworking to ensure accountability for such atrocity crimes and thereby sending a vital deterrent signal in the midst of ongoing violence that those who commit such crimes in Libya will ultimately face justice. The United States remains committed to supporting the Libyan people as they struggle for peace, prosperity and democratic governance. Accountability for crimes in Libya will be key to enduring success in that endeavour. We look forward to continued collaboration with the Council in order to realize a better future for all Libyans.”

  2. “The United States remains dedicated to pursuing accountability for violations and abuses committed during the 2011 revolution. In that regard, we appreciate the continuing efforts to bring SaifAl-IslamAl-Qadhafi, accused of helping to orchestrate the murder and persecution ofhundreds of civilians, to justice. We urge all the relevant Libyan actors to facilitate the transfer of Al-Qadhafi to The Hague so that he can stand trial for his alleged crimes against humanity. We welcome the reports of Libya's continued cooperation with the Prosecutor, consistent with the Council's calls for such cooperation and Libya's obligations under resolution 1970 (2011). We have also taken note of the Court's recent decision to lift the seal on an arrest warrant for Mr.”

  3. “Moreover, violent extremism flourishes where instability is prevalent. We remain deeply concerned about the continuing terrorist threat in Libya, which raises the potential risk of further atrocities. Although we are encouraged by the recent successes in driving the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham out of Sirte and Benghazi, we must ensure that terrorist groups do not have the opportunity to establish themselves and regain power in the absence of strong Libyan institutions and leadership. The conflict in and around Tamanhint airfield reminds us that the risk of division and escalating violence in Libya requires our urgent attention. At the same time, we must remain mindful of the importance of complying with international law during counter-terrorism operations.”

  4. “Political reconciliation among all Libyan parties remains key to achieving peace and realizing the goal of a Libya that is stable, democratic and free from the violence that continues to cause great human suffering throughout the country. We are encouraged by the recent meetings of Libyan leaders in Abu Dhabi and Rome, as well as by the international community's ongoing support for the Libyan Political Agreement framework, and we urge Libyans on all sides to work actively to implement it. As Ambassador Haley told the Council only a few weeks ago (see S/PV.7927), we need all the Libyan parties and the country's leadership to work together to rebuild the country, engage in dialogue and find a compromise. The road ahead will be challenging, but the ongoing discord and conflict will have far graver consequences for the Libyan people.”

  5. “I would like to thank the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for her briefing on her Office's efforts to pursue accountability for atrocity crimes committed in Libya. Stability in Libya through unity and leadership is critical for many reasons, including to ensuring that human rights violations and abuses can be meaningfully addressed. That includes addressing reports of arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings and the exploitation of migrants. We must work diligently to end impunity for such violations and abuses in Libya, since that in turn can reinforce the rule of law and foster stability.”
