ICC:Nato to be investigated for Libya war crimes
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the court's chief prosecutor, told the United Nations yesterday that Nato troops would be investigated alongside rebel soldiers and regime forces for alleged breaches of the laws of war during the battle to overthrow Col Muammar Gaddafi.As well as the original charges that Gaddafi and his close family perpetrated attacks on Libyan civilians, there are a series of complaints about the Western alliance and its allies in the National Transitional Council (NTC) under consideration. "There are allegations of crimes committed by Nato forces, allegations of crimes committed by NTC-related forces ... as well as allegations of additional crimes committed by pro-Gaddafi forces," said Mr Moreno-Ocampo. "`These allegations will be examined impartially and independently by the prosecution." Golem raising against its creators, or whitewash? Go with the Golem. Any good idea can be made bad. Because it can be, it must be. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2011-11-03 |
