Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. File photoUN, Apr 29Russian Deputy Representative to the UN Gennady Kuzmin at a meeting of the Security Council asked the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan why the organization does not have questions regarding the extrajudicial execution in 2011 of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. her work related to the investigation of the events of 2011 is completed and no new cases are planned. is not to blame for the disaster in Libya? This approach is simply striking in its one-sidedness,» Kuzmin said. According to him, the principle of the inevitability of punishment so often mentioned by Western states ceases to work when it comes to themselves. : who will be responsible for the collapse of the Libyan statehood and the years of suffering of its population? Does the extrajudicial killing of Muammar Gaddafi raise no questions? Should we consider this as an endorsement by the Court of the policy of overthrowing «objectionable» governments and assassinating the leaders of sovereign states?» Kuzmin said.Gaddafi's brother called the Russian special operation in Ukraine self-defense As the deputy representative pointed out, Moscow is convinced that it is a comprehensive analysis of the events of 2011, with an objective account of the role and responsibility of all parties in their occurrence, that should remain the focus of the ICC. Without this, talking about justice, as well as about some kind of “approach built around the rights of victims,” would be pure hypocrisy, Kuzmin added. and obvious that it began to fall apart even before the assassination of the Libyan leader. «Kuzmin said that the «Gaddafi case» in the ICC was used to justify NATO's unprovoked military aggression against Libya.» Western countries grossly violated the provisions of UN Security Council Resolution 1973, considering the introduction of a no-fly zone for carte blanche to carpet bombardment of a sovereign and then prosperous Libya. The result is known: the death of the civilian population, chaos and devastation in the country, massive flows of refugees. Until today, Libya continues to suffer from the consequences of NATO's actions in 2011,» he concluded. In March 2011, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution providing for the introduction of a no-fly zone over Libya. After that, the international coalition under the command of NATO, using this document as a pretext, launched a military operation in Libya, which ended with the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime that had existed for more than 40 years. Muammar Gaddafi was killed on October 20, 2011, when the motorcade in which he tried to leave his native the city of Sirte, besieged by that time from all sides, came under fire from NATO aircraft, after which the wounded Gaddafi was captured by armed opposition fighters. The body of the former Libyan leader was put on public display in the city of Misurata and later buried in a secret location in the desert. keeper of secrets» Gaddafi
