Hague to Issue Gaddafi Arrest Warrant

After conducting an exhaustive investigation, including 30 missions to 11 countries and interviews with more than 50 witnesses, the International Criminal Court in The Hague is expected to seek the arrest of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi Sunday for his violent suppression of anti-government demonstrations during his 42-year rule. The court is expected to issue warrants against Gaddafi and at least two other senior members of his Libyan regime for the murder of unarmed protesters and displacing civilians. The three-month old conflict has already claimed thousands of lives, according to human rights organizations, and the Office of the Prosecutor at The Hague has recently received several calls from high-level officials in Gaddafi’s regime willing to provide information against him. The Hague said in a statement: “The Office collected good and solid evidence to identify who bears the greatest responsibility; no political responsibilities but rather individual criminal responsibilities for crimes committed in Libya.”
