Unidentified Speaker 1, speaking on behalf of Security Council members that are parties to the Rome Statute, told the United Nations Security Council that they welcome "the significant progress made" by the Office of the Prosecutor in the Libya situation and thanked the ICC deputy prosecutor Nazad Shamim Khan and her team for presenting the thirtieth report.
The speakers said the report was submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 1970. "This progress is reflected in the imminent surrender of Khalid Lehi History to the court following his arrest by German authorities based on an arrest warrant issued by the court's pretrial chamber," Unidentified Speaker 1 said, describing that development as expected to produce the first trial linked to resolution 1970 and a milestone toward achieving objectives set out by the Office.
The statement also welcomed a declaration by the government of Libya under Article 12(3) of the Rome Statute and described "concrete steps" Libya had taken in follow-up during the reporting period. "We welcome the renewed basis for cooperation and partnership towards justice reflected in the declaration made by the government of Libya to article 12(3)," Unidentified Speaker 1 said.
Unidentified Speaker 2 emphasized the Office's engagement with victims and civil society and urged deeper engagement "to build existing trust and ensure that the voices of victims and survivors are heard." Speaker 2 also reiterated that states should fulfill their obligations under the Rome Statute and resolution 1970, including arresting and transferring to the ICC individuals who are the subjects of arrest warrants.
The speakers pointed to a recent conviction they described as arising from a Security Council referral. "We wish to recall the recent conviction of Ali Mohammed Abt Allah Al Hakman in the situation," Unidentified Speaker 2 said, calling it "the first judgment arising from a Security Council referral under resolution 1593" and saying the outcome "demonstrates referrals by the council can indeed deliver concrete judicial results."
Both speakers concluded by stressing a continued commitment to the Rome Statute and warning against actions that might undermine the court or its officials. "Safeguarding its integrity against any threats and actions aimed at the court, its officials, or its partners" was presented as central to ensuring accountability for serious international crimes, the statement said.
