The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno Ocampo, asked the judges a warrant for crimes against humanity against the Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his son Saif al Islam and the head of the Libyan Intelligence Services Abdullah Al Senusi. "The evidence collected shows that Moammar Gadhafi personally commanded Libyan attacks unarmed civilians," said Moreno Ocampo of Argentina in a press conference in The Hague, seat of the ICC.
The ICC judges can decide whether to accept the prosecutor's request, if the reject or seek further information. Libyan insurgents applauded the announcement, although the vice president of the National Transitional Council (CNT), Abdel Hafez Ghoga said that it is desirable that the colonel be tried first in the country.
The organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) also welcomed the move, saying it "is a first step towards justice for serious crimes committed in Libya." "We are convinced that a man who leads a war against its own people should respond, "he said on his part the German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle.
Libyans protest since February against the regime of Gadhafi, who opted for the repression against dissidents.
