Justice in the hands of Libya, UN - ICC prosecutor

AMSTERDAM Feb 23 (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court prosecutor said on Wednesday he cannot investigate crimes in Libya unless the country's authorities accept the court's jurisdiction or the U.N. Security Council refers the situation to the ICC.

"The decision to do justice in Libya should be taken by the Libyan people," ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said in a statement.

He said the office of the prosecutor would act only after Libya accepts the court's jurisdiction or the Security Council refers the situation to the court. (Reporting by Aaron Gray-Block; Editing by Sara Webb/David Stamp)
