Tripoli, 13 December 2021:

In a tweet on its social media account yesterday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) reiterated that it needs state cooperation to arrest and transfer Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi to its courts.

Saif is standing as a candidate in Libya’s presidential elections planned for 24 December 2021. Initially, Libya’s High National Elections Commission (HNEC) disqualified him, however, upon his appeal the courts reinstated him.

The ICC tweeted ‘‘Saif Gaddafi remains at large. He is suspected of crimes against humanity committed in Libya. The ICC relies on State cooperation worldwide to arrest and transfer him to Court’’.

The tweet came as part of a general information campaign regarding those wanted by the ICC. The ICC said ‘‘To date, 12 persons for whom the ICC has issued arrest warrants remain at large. All suspects of grave international crimes should be brought to justice, as we strive together to build a more just world.’’

However, Saif is not the only Libyan wanted by the ICC. Under the heading on its website ‘‘Trying individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression’’, two other Libyans are listed with Saif and another nine other non-Libyans.

These are the entries for the three listed Libyans on the ICC’s website:
