The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said that there were indications of war crimes being committed amidst the escalating violence in Libya.
Speaking at the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Fatou Bensouda, noted that the last 6 months of conflict in Libya had seen signs of war crimes, reports Aljazeera.
“There are, indeed, indications that crimes that fall within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court are being committed,” said Bensouda on Tuesday.
The internationally recognised Libyan government was forced out of the capital after fighters seized the region in August.
