The International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction in Libya as the country never signed or ratified the treaty that created the body, said Themba Langa, a South African lawyer representing Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and his government.
Qaddafi has immunity as head of state based on international customary law, Langa said in an e-mailed statement from Johannesburg today.
