ICC prosecutor issues secret arrest warrants for Libya crimes

THE HAGUE, May 11 (Reuters) - The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court told the United Nations Security Council on Thursday that the court has issued four new secret arrest warrants for crimes allegedly committed in Libya since 2011. He added that his office in the last few weeks had applied for two more arrest warrants, but judges have not yet ruled on those applications. The warrants are currently under seal so it is not clear who is targeted or what crimes specifically the ICC prosecutor is charging. The prosecutor has asked judges for the warrants to be unsealed and a decision is pending. Libya has known little peace since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising and split in 2014 between warring eastern and western factions.
