Libya Appeals ICC Bid to Extradite Gadhafi Son
2012-04-11
[An Nahar] Libya, which wants Muammar Qadaffy's
...whose instability was an inspiration to dictators everywhere, but whose end couldn't possibly happen to them...
son Seif al-Islam tried at home, on Tuesday appealed a ruling by the Hague-based International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
(ICC) that he be handed over to the world court.

The ICC, which wants to try Seif on charges of crimes against humanity for his role in battling last year's uprising which toppled his father, issued a ruling on April 4 calling for his immediate transfer from prison in Libya to prison in The Hague.

"The Government of Libya submits that the chamber committed a serious error of law" and wants it to "overturn" its earlier decision, Libya's legal representatives said in the document released by the court Tuesday.

The Libyan government will detail why it considers the ICC incompetent to judge the case in a submission to be made on April 30, its representatives added.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Seif in February 2011 when Qadaffy-loyal forces were involved in an attempt to crush the so-called "Arab Spring" rebellion.

#1  A compromise could be for the ICC to do the trial in Libya. The after that trial the Libyans could trial him.
