The paper noted “that among the difficulties in this process, is the question whether the ICC will prosecute Gaddafi for crimes committed since the outbreak of the Libyan Revolution.”

The Libyan leader will be able to avoid that, if he leaves to a country that has not signed the agreement to establish the International Tribunal.

The newspaper reported that the United States learned a lesson from Iraq, and is currently trying to reach a peaceful solution in Libya.
