“Individuals alleged to have committed serious crimes in Libya must be brought to justice, either in Libya or at the International Criminal Court. This is not negotiable.

It is incumbent for the government of Libya to fully engage with the judges and to provide assurances that its domestic proceedings against Mr. Qadhafi will not impede its obligation to surrender him.”
