The International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed its discontent with Italy's handling of warlord Ossama al-Masri's case after he was released and sent back to Libya. Accused of serious war crimes including murder and torture, al-Masri had been arrested in Italy following an ICC warrant. However, due to procedural errors cited by an Italian court, he was freed, prompting backlash against Italy and a reminder from the ICC regarding its obligations to assist in handling such prosecutions, indicating a strain in Italy's commitment to international justice.
Italy's recent decision to release warlord Ossama al-Masri, despite ICC warrants for his arrest, underscores a significant breach of international law obligations.
The ICC has emphasized that Italy is legally obligated to cooperate fully with its investigations, particularly regarding the return of Ossama al-Masri to Libya.
