On July 24, 2014, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed in The Case of the Prosecutor v. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi the decision of Pre-Trial Chamber I declaring inadmissible the case against Abdullah Al-Senussi. According to the press release, the Appeals Chamber determined “that there were no errors in the findings of the Pre-Trial Chamber that Libya is not unwilling or unable to genuinely prosecute Mr Al-Senussi, or in the exercise of its discretion in the conduct of the proceedings and in the evaluation of the evidence.” Judge Sang-Hyun Song and Judge Anita Ušacka wrote separate opinions.
