Moamer Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for the crimes committed under his rule, the NTC spokesman in London said Sunday, regardless of the International Criminal Court charges against him. The ICC, based in The Hague, has issued an arrest warrant against Gaddafi for crimes against humanity committed during the Libyan uprising, along with warrants for his son Seif al-Islam and his intelligence chief. But Guma al-Gamaty, the National Transitional Council co-ordinator in Britain, said Gaddafi should face trial in Libya for a catalogue of crimes since he seized power in 1969. “The ICC will only put Gaddafi on trial for crimes committed over the last six months,” Gamaty told BBC television. “Gaddafi is responsible for an horrific catalogue of crimes committed over the last 42 years, which he should stand for and answer for and he can only answer for those in a proper trial in Libya itself.” He said that it would be up to the court to determine whether a death sentence was appropriate for Gaddafi, but added: “The court will be fair and just and will meet all international standards.
“International monitors from human rights organisations and other reputable organisations and the UN will be allowed to monitor things.
