ICTR President Vagn Joensen Issues Statement on ICC Staff Detained in Libya
SITUATIONS AND CASES - SITUATIONS ET AFFAIRES
Friday, 15 June 2012 10:35
The President of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Judge Vagn Joensen, issued a statement expressing deep concern over the continued detention of staff members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Libya:
“I join President Song in urging the immediate release of the ICC staff members who have now been detained in Libya for more than one week. This deplorable situation affecting our sister institution is wholly unacceptable – immunity of staff on official mission of an international court is of paramount importance to that court’s ability to properly function. I stand ready to assist in any way that may be requested in order to help ensure the safe return of the detained ICC staff members.”
The four ICC staff members, who were on an official mission ordered by an ICC Pre-Trial Chamber, have been detained in Libya since 7 June 2012.

Libyan NATO Supported Rebels Currently Listed by US State Department as Terrorists
NATO leaders are guilty under US code of providing material support to terrorists.
By Tony Cartalucci
Land Destroyer Report /
Global Research, September 4, 2011
NATO leaders are guilty under US code of providing material support to terrorists.
In March 2011, the London Telegraph reported that Libya’s rebels had direct ties to Al Qaeda and that both leaders and fighters had spent time in both Iraq and Afghanistan combating US troops.
The article titled, “Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links” featured Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, who had been captured by the US after fighting Americans in Afghanistan, returned to Libya, and released under a bargain for Hasidi and his Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) militants to abandon extremism and become productive members of society. Quite obviously, and with the US, UK, and NATO’s help, Hasidi and his men went back on this bargain and are now sowing murder and mayhem across Libya. Full article & live links at Global Research
Destroying a Country's Standard of Living:
What Libya Had Achieved, What has been Destroyed
by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, September 20, 2011
"There is no tomorrow" under a NATO sponsored Al Qaeda rebellion. While a "pro-democracy" rebel government has been instated, the country has been destroyed.
Against the backdrop of war propaganda, Libya's economic and social achievements over the last thirty years, have been brutally reversed:
The [Libyan Arab Jamahiriya] has had a high standard of living and a robust per capita daily caloric intake of 3144. The country has made strides in public health and, since 1980, child mortality rates have dropped from 70 per thousand live births to 19 in 2009. Life expectancy has risen from 61 to 74 years of age during the same span of years. (FAO, Rome, Libya, Country Profile,) For more & live links go to Global Research article.

The Headless Corpse, the Mass Grave and Worrying Questions About Libya's Rebel Army
The five corpses floated disfigured and bloating in the murky bottom of the water tank. Wearing green soldiers' uniforms, the men lay belly down, decomposing in the putrid water.
By Ruth Sherlock, Al-Qawalish
July 21, 2011 "The Telegraph" - -The streaks of blood, smeared along the sides of this impromptu mass grave suggested a rushed operation, a hurried attempt to dispose of the victims.
Who the men were and what happened to them, close to the Libyan rebels' western front line town of Al-Qawalish in the Nafusa Mountains, remains unknown.
But the evidence of a brutal end were clear. One of the corpses had been cleanly decapitated, while the trousers of another had been ripped down to his ankles, a way of humiliating a dead enemy. The green uniforms were the same as those worn by loyalists fighting for Col. Muammer Gaddafi in Libya's civil war. [Read more]

Cluster Bombing of Misrata Committed by US Naval Forces, Not Qadhafi
by Human Rights Investigations (HRI) May 27, 2011
The ongoing HRI investigation of the cluster bombing of Misrata in April 2011 has found convincing evidence the bombing was committed by US naval forces.
On the 15th April 2011, sub-munitions of a MAT-120 cluster bomb were shown to Human Rights Watch (HRW) and C.J. Chivers, a journalist for the New York Times, in Misrata. On that evening, during ongoing clashes between rebel and loyalist forces, Human Rights Watch workers witnessed 3 or 4 cluster munitions landing in residential areas of Misrata. HRW attest to further subsequent such bombings.
The rush to judgement
Both HRW and C.J. Chivers immediately blamed these attacks on the Gaddafi regime and the news has been a front page and first item on the television news around the world. There is another unreported side to this story [Read more]

NATO's Secret Ground War in Libya
by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya
Foreign Forces Were on the Ground in Libya prior to any type of U.N. Approval
U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 only passed, because Moscow and Beijing abstained. This was a tactical move meant to limit the war.
If the resolution had been vetoed by Russia and China, in all likelihood, the U.S., Britain, France, Italy (and the Western European members of NATO) would have resorted to “other means,” including an outright invasion. By abstaining and getting the NATO powers to vocally invest themselves to U.N. Resolution 1973 and to hide behind it, Moscow and Beijing managed to limit the options of the Pentagon and NATO.

According to Washington, the involvement of U.S. intelligence agents in Libya started as soon as the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was closed.

Tribal chiefs, fundamentalist clerics and monarchists in the East have been active in a “holy war” against Gaddafi welcoming arms and air support from the Anglo-French-US “crusaders” - just like the mullahs and tribal chiefs welcomed the arms and training from the Carter-Reagan White House to overthrow a secular regime in Afghanistan.

MEDIA POWER:
[Anorak Notes,
Opinion]
Manufacturing Consent for Regime Change
Human Rights Watch claims cluster bombs used on "rebel" civilians.
The Orwellian Main Stream Media spews more un confirmed tales to paint the Libyan military as civilian killers. Human Rights Watch is a tool of the MONEY POWER, it would be naive in the extreme if one does not question HRW honesty -funded as it has been by George Soros, the Rockefella & Ford Foundations and indirectly by British & US governments i.e. "the usual suspects".
It may just be that a cluster bomb has been fired by Libyan forces though it is extremely doubtful. What is not in doubt is the serial holocausts inflicted on women, children and men - mostly civilians, from Dresden and Hiroshima through to the deluge of depleted uranium munitions used on civilians across Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Lebanon etc. and now Libya, by American and European imperial powers. The audacity in hypocrisy in epic. The fact is that a sophisticated lie if told repeatedly passes as truth for the unquestioning..

Propaganda and "Humanitarian Imperialism"
Lots of links to public domain documents. This article covers many important hidden histories of Western intervention in Libya, including the present one. Anorak notes
Since the beginning of the crisis in Libya, the media has taken sides in favor of the rebels. The media relies almost solely on the rebellion’s claims, while totally dismissing information emanating from the Gaddafi government.
Since the beginning of the insurrection in Libya, Muammar Gaddafi accused Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. He thus claimed several times that the terrorist network manipulated the insurgents. This Tuesday, James Stavridis, the commander of NATO’s forces in Europe, has partly confirmed these claims.
Rebels, Al-Qaeda, MI6, CIA
Here’s a Guardian article from 2002. This information has been available for ten years, but the media didn’t think it was newsworthy:
British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.
The latest claims of MI6 involvement with Libya's fearsome Islamic Fighting Group, which is connected to one of bin Laden's trusted lieutenants, will be embarrassing to the Government, which described similar claims by renegade MI5 officer David Shayler as 'pure fantasy'.

The Euro-US War on Libya: Official Lies and Misconceptions of Critics
By James Petras and Robin E. Abaya
Many critics of the ongoing Euro-US wars in the Middle East and, now, North Africa, have based their arguments on clichés and generalizations devoid of fact. The most common line heard in regard to the current US-Euro war on Libya is that it’s “all about oil” – the goal is the seizure of Libya’s oil wells. On the other hand Euro –U.S, government spokespeople defend the war by claiming it’s “all about saving civilian lives in the face of genocide”, calling it “humanitarian intervention”.
These arguments are without foundation and belie the true nature of US-UK-French imperial power, expansionist militarism, as evidenced in all the ongoing wars over the past decade (Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc.).

Libya: Is Washington Pushing for Civil War to Justify a US-NATO Military Intervention?

The U.S. and the E.U. now seek to capitalize on the revolt against Qaddafi and his dictatorship with the hopes of building a far stronger position in Libya than ever before. Weapons are also being brought into Libya from its southern borders to promote revolt. The destabilization of Libya would also have significant implications for North Africa, West Africa, and global energy reserves.
