NY City: Following his investigations into war crimes in Libya, the International Court of Justice prosecutor announced during a briefing at the UN Security Council on Thursday that the court had issued four warrants for the arrest of specific people. During the briefing, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan stated that he had applied to have the warrants unsealed and that the ICC international judges would make a decision in due time. Khan claimed that over the previous few weeks, he had also applied for two more warrants. Following the Security Council's referral and Resolution 1970, which denounced the use of lethal force by Gaddafi and his top advisors against Libyan civilians, the ICC opened an international war crimes investigation in Libya in 2011. Other speakers reaffirmed the position taken by their nations regarding the need to hold war crime perpetrators accountable in order to bring justice to the Libyan people.
