  1. “As for the other perpetrators of crimes against humanity committed during the uprising who may reside outside Libya, we encourage the Government of Libya, in collaboration with the concerned countries and other partners, to ensure that those who committed crimes and who may continue to pose a threat to the Libyans are brought to justice. To conclude, let me reiterate that the International Criminal Court should be used as a court oflast resort. It is therefore important for the international community to support and provide assistance to enhance national capacities - in this case, Libyan capacities - to deal with past crimes, promote the rule of law, establish a sound judicial system and investigate and prosecute serious crimes. Only by strengthening national capacity are we really fighting impunity.”

  2. “In that regard, we are concerned about the reported crimes committed against the Tawerghan civilians who, to this day, have been unable to return to their homes in Tawergha. We hope that the Libyan Government will ensure the equal protection of its citizens. From our experience of the gacaca jurisdictions, we believe that national initiatives like the fact-finding and reconciliation commission in Libya can implement strategies that could address allegations of crimes committed at the local level, such as those committed in Misrata and Tawergha in 2011. The international community shall provide the necessary assistance in supporting and strengthening that mechanism. We stress that, fundamentally in order for the Libyan people to reconcile, justice has to be rendered by the Libyans themselves.”

  3. “We hope that demarche of the Libyan Government will be considered a demonstration of goodwill and on the same path of ensuring accountability, hence upholding the same principle of complementarity. It should be noted that the Libyan Government has taken steps recently in its legislative development. We believe that this is an indication that Libya is willing to prosecute those who committed crimes and to put an end to impunity. However, let us encourage the Government of Libya to Show its goodwill by putting into practice the laws promulgated, including the transitional justice law. We particularly stress the need for the Libyan Government to ensure that article 28 of that law, related to ending the detention of those associated with the former regime without due process, is fully implemented.”

  4. “In the cases of Abdullah Al-Senussi and Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi, it has always been our belief that the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute the crimes against humanity of which those individuals are accused lies with the Libyan national jurisdiction. We therefore welcome the recent decision by the Pre-Trial Chamber to uphold its principles of complementarity by recognizing the steps already taken by the Libyan courts in prosecuting Al-Senussi. As far as Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi is concerned, the Government has begun legal proceedings at home, thus showing the ability and the willingness of the national judicial institutions to uphold their duty.”

  5. “I would like to thank Ms. Fatou Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, for her sixth report on the implementation of resolution 1970 (2011) and for the additional information she has provided today. Let me begin by acknowledging the efforts undertaken by the Government of Libya and its people in rebuilding their State institutions, particularly the judicial system, at a moment when the country continues to face challenges on the security and political fronts. Rebuilding State institutions is not an easy task; it requires the time and concerted efforts of all actors. In that regard, we call upon all key partners of Libya to continue providing the necessary support and to enhance collaboration with the Government of Libya.”
