Gadaffi And Others Named As War Crimes Suspects by ICC

Jana Moreno Ocampo ametangaza kuomba arrest warrant ya kumkamata Gadafi na wanawe, Gadafi anaua watu wake kwa kuwa yeye analinda madaraka yake. Waasi wanaua askari wa Gadafi kwa kuwa wao wanataka madaraka, je kumshitaki Gadafi peke yake waasi ni watu gani au ni halali kuasi?


Gaddafi has however been quick to dismiss the ICC as a "baby of the European union" which was designed to prosecute African leaders. Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy foreign minister, is quoted as saying: "The ICC is not important for us. We are not part of the Rome statute. We will not show any attention to the decision," according to media outlets.

Chadian president Idriss Deby

Washington - The Chadian government on Wednesday made it clear that it will not cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in arresting three Libyan officials named by the tribunal's chief prosecutor as suspects in the violent crackdown against protestors that took place last February.

Omer Yahya, the press adviser for Chadian president Idriss Deby, told the London-based Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper that his country is committed to the African Union (AU) decision instructing members not to cooperate with the ICC in arresting Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir who is also wanted by the court.

The Chadian official suggested that the decision applies to all suspects wanted by the court that are still at large.

"It is true that we ratified the Rome Statute which established the International Criminal Court but we also endorsed the decision of the African Union adopted on July 2009 in Sirte, Libya refusing to cooperate with the ICC,"
Yahya said.

"We are an independent country and stand by the decision of the African Union and if there is a new resolution [mandating] cooperation with the ICC we will be a part of it but so far the African Union has not declared that it supports the decision of the Hague" he added.
