Operation IRINI seizes military vehicles bound for Libya
Operation IRINI has said it confiscated dozens of military vehicles shipped to Libya on board a Dutch-flagged commercial ship on October 11, without disclosing the receiving party. The European Union Naval Force, established in March 2020 to monitor the UN arms embargo on Libya, said in its recent report on Wednesday that this was the second time IRINI seized a cargo in implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution in less than three months. "One of the European military vessels operating in the Central Mediterranean Sea for Operation IRINI detected the ship on its way to Libya. Upon Operation IRINI’s request... the Netherlands, as the ship’s flag state, gave its consent without delay for the inspection and on 11 October, a boarding team was sent on board to verify the nature of those vehicles. The report indicated that the ship was diverted to a European port, where a UN Panel of Experts investigated the cargo before the vehicles were disembarked and stored ashore.

What's 'Putin's chef' cooking up with talk on US meddling?
‘PUTIN’S CHEF'Prigozhin and Putin go way back, with both born in Leningrad, what is now known as St. Petersburg. He also organized catering for Kremlin events for several years — earning him the nickname “Putin's chef” — and has provided catering and utility services to the Russian military. In 2017, opposition figure and corruption fighter Alexei Navalny accused Prigozhin's companies of breaking antitrust laws by bidding for some $387 million in Defense Ministry contracts. But in September, he acknowledged being the founder of Wagner in a social media statement released by his companies' press service. Some media reports suggested Prigozhin’s influence on Putin is growing and he is after a prominent political post.

France, Italy wrangle over migrant rescue ship
The row centers on the Ocean Viking, a charity ship that has sailed away from Sicilian waters toward France after unsuccessfully waiting for permission to dock in Italy since late October. Italian leaders have claimed that France is ready to accept the migrants, but Paris has warned that the ship was in Italian waters and branded the refusal to let her dock "unacceptable". It did not single out Italy or France by name, but noted the "clear and unequivocal" legal obligation to rescue distressed persons at sea. In June, around a dozen EU countries, including France, agreed to take in migrants who arrive in Italy and other main entry points. So far this year, 164 asylum seekers have been moved from Italy to other nations in the bloc that have volunteered to accept them.

ICC prosector urges Libya's Haftar to 'prevent' crimes by troops
November 9, 2022 — Tripoli (AFP)The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor said Wednesday he had urged eastern Libyan military chief Khalifa Haftar to "prevent" crimes by his troops, as investigations into their actions continue. Karim Khan, the first ICC prosecutor to visit the war-torn country in a decade, arrived in Libya on Saturday. "I said that those were and are being investigated, (and) that military commanders must prevent, must repress and must punish crimes when they emerge." The Kaniyat allied with Haftar during his year-long offensive on Tripoli, but after he retreated in mid-2020, residents began discovering bodies. Before taking over as the ICC's lead prosecutor, Karim Khan defended Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, son of slain dictator Moamer Kadhafi, whose arrest the ICC is seeking for "crimes against humanity".
