Newswise — “With the Gaddafi regime crumbling, and with his two sons already in the custody of the Libyan rebels, the next step is to await their transfer to The Hague to await prosecution before the International Criminal Court.
“I would be willing to wager money that the chief prosecutor will prosecute Gaddafi, his intelligence chief and his son Saif under a new and controversial doctrine known as indirect co-perpetration. The point of this doctrine is to vertically link the soldiers on the ground with Saif and his intelligence chief, and then horizontally link Saif, his father and his intelligence chief at the leadership level. The chief prosecutor might even claim that Gaddafi and his inner circle ruled Libya together as a junta.”--Jens David Ohlin, international law expert and associate professor of Law at Cornell University
