International Criminal Court Prosecutor Could Investigate ISIS Crimes in Libya.

United Nations, 13 May 2105(Lana) The International Criminal Court Prosecutor said the International Criminal Court could investigate alleged crimes by Islamic State militants in Libya, but it is first up to individual states to prosecute their citizens accused of offences. ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that she had noted the 15-member body's calls for accountability for alleged crimes against civilians committed by groups claiming allegiance to Islamic State. "My office considers that ICC jurisdiction over Libya prima facie extends to such alleged crimes," Bensouda said. "I recall however the principle that states, in the first instance, bear the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute their nationals who have joined forces with Islamic State and are alleged to be committing crimes." =Lana=
