  1. “In any case, we did not receive responses to our questions. When it comes to holding such meetings in the future, we would evaluate their suitability on a case-by-case basis and in the light of additional information to be provided by the Prosecutor. Moreover, we suggest that the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, given its lack of mandate, is not the right format for discussions on international criminal justice.”

  2. “That episode endangered the work of the ICC in Libya, undermined its credibility and the security of its staff, and had an adverse impact on interaction between the Court and States. With respect to the Security Council interactive dialogue with the Prosecutor of the ICC that took place yesterday, we should like to know the following. Concerning the proposal with respect to the possible future steps of the Security Council to assist the ICC in the framework of the investigation of the Libyan situation, we feel that it would be appropriate to consider it in the light of practical suitability, the Council's mandate, the prerogatives of the ICC and the basic international legal context. For our part, we still do not understand the added value of the interactive dialogue that took place yesterday.”

  3. “We therefore highly doubt that, at this time, conditions in Libya are eminently conducive to conducting fair legal proceedings in line with international standards with respect to Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi. The jurisdiction of the ICC over those cases is contested, and the matter of admissibility will ultimately be decided by the ICC. However, we understand that the Libyan side has not yet provided the Court with convincing information on national investigations. We do not fully understand why Libya has not done so for some time now. We suggest that the Prosecutor and Judges of the ICC take a more careful look into this situation. We are also concerned by the lack of information regarding the detention of a group of ICC staff in Zintan in June 2012, which was a cause of great concern.”

  4. “We support the legal foundation of ICC activities pursuant to the Rome Statute, including the principle of complementarity. Without a doubt, not all crimes committed in Libya should be investigated by the Court. The question is how effectively that principle can be implemented with specific respect to the Libyan situation. In that regard, it would be no exaggeration to state that the moment of truth has come for the ICC with regard to the Libyan investigations. In our view, the impacts of the crisis in Libya are a serious obstacle to justice being effectively served. Reports from various sources, including civil society bodies, give cause for concern that there are gaping holes in the Libyan legal system. Some of those are a legacy from the past, while others are the direct consequence of recent events.”

  5. “After almost two years, there has been no notable progress in prosecuting rebels, although there are accounts of those individuals committing brutal crimes in armed clashes. These facts are well known. According to reports, violence in Libya unfortunately continues in today's post-conflict situation against a backdrop of problems with the functioning of the State apparatus and the central Government's control over the country as a whole. We welcome the ICC's monitoring role in that regard. Finally, there is the pending matter of the investigation of cases of civilian causalities and the destruction of civilian targets during NATO operations. We suggest that the ICC step up its analysis of information received from the United Nations fact- finding mission, humanitarian non-governmental organizations and other channels.”

  6. “Mr. Zagainov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): At the outset, allow me to thank Ms. Fatou Bensouda for her briefing and presentation of her fifth report on the investigations in Libya pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011). We support the efforts of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute individuals who committed heinous crimes during the events in Libya. However, judging from the report, work continues to stall in that regard. In spite of appeals for an objective legal analysis of the activities of all parties to the conflict and post-conflict violence, investigations continue to concentrate only on suspects from the entourage of the former Libyan leader. Even on that front, in spite of ample legal proceedings and activities, we have yet to see progress.”
