and romania gripped by massive protests as frustrated crowds demand an end to the government's austerity measures and corruption calling for the president to go some sixteen people were injured in violent clashes among protesters and police in the capital. libya maybe trying to move on from forty years of colonel gadhafi is rule but his children are demanding justice up next the lawyer for the late leader's daughter explains to r t why the death still hasn't been investigated. the daughter of all four may be a dictator moammar gadhafi has hired an israeli noire to force the international criminal court to investigate the full circumstances of her father's day at the big health and thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. why have you agreed to take on the case of i should ask who has a jamaican plate her father was murdered murdered in a brutal fashion. the whole world saw it. the prosecutor of the international
11:32 am
criminal court has an obligation to investigate all aspects of the conflict which was referred to him by the united nations security council. and that would include also the murder of normal gadhafi especially since the prosecutor himself has stated that there are grounds to believe that this was a war crime which is the case stand at the moment well at the moment i've written to the prosecutor i've asked him whether or not he intends on me investigating it i received a reply the reply was essentially that we're going to see what the libyan authorities do about it will give them about five months and by the time i make my next report to the security council we'll see what they've done. my view is that that's in fact and even it too late this is not the sort of investigation which can be put off for five months it's a complex investigation there's a need to examine the crime scene to perform forensic ballistic analysis to take
11:33 am
evidence from objective witnesses all these sort of things have to be done it's not the sort of investigation that you can put off just for five months and see what happens is there any way that you can speed up the investigation well i can keep on writing and pestering as it were the prosecutor see how far that gets me i should herself has also made enough occasion for victims status in the situation in certain situations that. can actually give her procedural rights. examining whether or not from a legal point of view that would allow her to petition the court in order to speed up the investigative process why is the international criminal court so reluctant to speed up the investigation the general rule of the i.c.c. what's called the rule of complementarity that means that domestic state authorities if they are capable of performing an investigation should be left to do so in the present instance we don't believe the authorities as they stand at
11:34 am
present have the will capacity to carry out such best to gratian and that's why we're calling for the investigation to be conducted immediately the international criminal court issued a warrant to persecute gadhafi in june of last year and then in october he was killed shouldn't the i.c.c. be willing to what happened to the suspect i would only investigation despite what the libyan government says and does. an obligation on the office of the prosecutor to investigate all aspects of the conflict at the present moment in time no one from the libyan authorities has put forward a concrete plan for bringing that say for example safely. to justice and prosecuting him under the rule of law given that that's in fact the case i would have thought that the obligation rests with the office of the prosecutor to ensure that the libyan affair as i may call it investigated conduct and prosecuted before
11:35 am
the international criminal court for your experience what can the international criminal court do if it was willing. to get that first of all i'm in the hands of the prosecutor at this present moment in time. once should get victim status before the court in the situation in the libyan situation that of course is subject to the decision of the judges. then i will examine whether or not there are legal grounds for requesting the judges to intervene and to expedite the investigative process what is your interaction with ice and how is she doing. daily interaction with her situation is not simple she is currently under some form of restriction on her freedom of association on the other hand she is grateful to the algerian authorities for offering her some form of
11:36 am
humanitarian protection. she's been traumatised by the the murder of her brother i must add. two brutal murders which were witnessed by the whole world on various video clips she's with her mother and two brothers in a sense of how they all fairing well i am in contact with least one other member of the family as i said it's not easy for them on the one hand they are grateful for the humanitarian protection which has been offered them by the algerian authorities i don't know how the guests in the country by force of circumstances they don't have complete freedom of association complete freedom of movement so the situation is a complex one all her plans seeking asylum anywhere else i can't comment on that at the present moment in time is she following what's happening with her brother safe of course she is and it's seriously concerned. she regrets the fact that safely
11:37 am
hasn't been afforded legal representation at this moment in time. and she hopes that it will happen in the very near future do you think that say al islam will get a fair trial in libya once again it's a very sensitive issue there is nothing for the present moment in time to make me believe that a fair and effective trial can be condoned to do libya based on the fact that the libyan authorities were ordered by the international criminal court to file a response. to the. pre-trial chamber handling the matter safely by the tenth of january information concerning safe status and what the libyan authorities intentions with respect to him living or forty's requested payment for fighting their response to security concerns my belief is that if the security concerns are so serious that they prevent the libyan authorities from filing a response to a court order then the necessary conclusion i have to draw is that the same
11:38 am
security considerations would prevent a fair ineffective trial in other words the libyan authorities should be ensuring safely slide is one hundred over to the hague in accordance with the arrest warrant could the fact that the whole investigation is taking so long be a red herring too late conduct is made of is get away with us. the only person who has been seized of my request for an immediate investigation at this moment in time is the prosecutor. to question employees or even the certain amount of bad faith on the part of the office of the prosecutor you said that i didn't i contemplate it on the evidence which i have available to me at the present moment in time. i have to assume that the prosecutor is. in the best interests of his office. of his investigation. and his mandate the fact that i don't
11:39 am
agree with that is another matter what really needs to be done to establish the truth and cannot be established at all of course the truth can be established and if the office of the prosecutor were sufficiently serious he would have initiated an immediate investigation especially bearing in mind that the prosecutor has gone on the record and stated that this was in fact a potential war crime we shouldn't be sitting here today talking about why is an investigation taking place. it should have started a few days after the murder itself. given this on the very same day what does it really take to investigate a crime like this well this is a complex investigation it's a crime of murder. it's a crime which the investigators in the office of prosecutor are fully qualified to investigate and let us not forget the office of the prosecutor contains the best investigators in the world they have the trust of the best investigators in the world and so as i previously stated it would involve
11:40 am
a forensic analysis of the crime scene it would also involve a ballistic analysis of the crime scene it would involve taking detail statements from objective and independent witnesses who would also involve for example a proper autopsy of mormon gadhafi himself and matar some gadhafi now one question i do have is why right after the murder. the office of the prosecutor didn't volunteer one of its own forensic pathologist to assist in the performance of the autopsy well that didn't happen but as i said it's a complex investigation but by no means it's not an investigation of the of the prosecutor couldn't occur immediately pretty confident thank you very much for talking to us here on r.t. and welcome.
