Media www.rajawalisiber.com – During his first briefing to the Security Council, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan said, “cogent and coherent allegations” continue to arise from Libya, and this requires a “new focus” from the Office of the Prosecutor, as well as “more engagement and more support” from the Council.
He said, “the plight of women and children and men is something that requires greater action.”
Khan, who succeeded Fatou Bensouda as Chief Prosecutor on 16 June said, “I hope in my next report I will be able to set out clear objectives, and a roadmap that will give clarity on these important matters and would help to more transparently and clearly communicate what is the plan, what are we hoping to do, and how we hoping to achieve it.”
The Office of the Prosecutor presents its reports concerning cases in Libya in semi-annual briefings to the Council.
Khan said, “we need to redefine success for the Court. Success does not simply mean the numbers of trials or the number of proceedings in the Hague. Success means narrowing accountability, supporting national authorities looking at imaginative ways in which we work together, not separately and divided but in a united manner.”
