ICC Prosecutor: Gaddafi Will Be Gone In Months

Written by FrumForum News on Tuesday June 28, 2011

Reuters reports:

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Tuesday it could be "game over" within months for Muammar Gaddafi, but China reacted cautiously to the issuing of an arrest warrant for the Libyan leader on charges of crimes against humanity.

"Today, it is time for arrests," ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told reporters in The Hague, a day after the ICC approved warrants for Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi.

"It is a matter of time ... Gaddafi will face charges. The arrest warrants are not going away."

He added: "I don't think we will have to wait for long...In two or three months it is game over."
