ICJ communication to the International Court of Justice urging the investigation of the Court's Vice-President | ICJ The ICJ has sent a communication to the President of the International Court of Justice (the Court), Justice Yuji Iwasawa, to urge the Court to c

Situation in Libya: ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I unseals the arrest warrant for Mr Saif Suleiman Sneidel Today, 8 August 2025, Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “the Court”) decided to unseal the arrest warrant issued initially on 10 November 2020 against Mr Saif Suleiman ...

Finally, it was also revealed that an arrest warrant for Saif Suleiman Sneidel, issued under seal in Nov 2020, was recently unsealed—marking another step in the ICC’s pursuit of accountability in Libya. www.icc-cpi.int/news/situati...

The Prosecutor is now appealing parts of the El Hishri warrant, arguing the Chamber wrongly excluded charges tied to victims of African descent—saying they weren’t detained “for conflict-related reasons” or part of the targeted civilian population. www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

Unlike in Elmasry, Judge Flores Liera did not dissent in El Hishri—likely because of Libya’s declaration. The warrant confirms this shift: it refers to Libya’s recognition of ICC jurisdiction under Article 12(3). www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

Single View Press Here you find ECCHR’s press contact and current press releases.

We saw the effects right away. On 10 July 2025, the ICC issued a sealed arrest warrant for Khaled El Hishri, accused of crimes at Mitiga Prison. He was arrested in Germany just days later, on 16 July. www.ecchr.eu/en/press-rel...

The declaration not only accepts jurisdiction—it explicitly asks the ICC Prosecutor to investigate crimes linked to detention, disappearances, torture, trafficking, and persecution. A 2-year extension of ICC investigations is also requested.

That jurisdictional concern, initially raised by Flores Liera, now seems moot. On 8 Aug 2025, Libya’s declaration under Article 12(3) was made public: it accepts ICC jurisdiction over crimes from 2011–2027. www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

Moreover, during parliamentary debates, Italy's Minister of Justice cited Judge Flores Liera’s dissent—arguing the ICC lacked jurisdiction—as justification. But interestingly, Italy didn’t repeat that argument in its formal May 2025 submission to the ICC. www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

ICC seeks answers after Italy frees Libyan war crimes suspect The Italian government unexpectedly freed Osama Elmasry Njeem because of a legal technicality.

In Jan 2025, Osama Elmasry was arrested in Italy under a sealed ICC warrant. Days later, Italy released him and flew him back to Libya. According to Italy, the original warrant had errors,—corrected only 5 days later and there was a competing extradition request. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...

Big developments at the ICC on Libya: new arrests, a jurisdictional twist, and a declaration by Libya accepting ICC authority. These shifts affect state cooperation, admissibility & enforcement. Here's a breakdown of what’s unfolding. www.icc-cpi.int/situations/l...

Remarkable comments from Judge Sebutinde of the International Court of Justice, who dissented in various orders issued by the Court in the South Africa v. Israel genocide case.
