Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court has held that the case against Abdullah Al-Senussi is inadmissible.  The Court ruled that the same case “is currently subject to domestic proceedings being conducted by the competent authorities of Libya—which has jurisdiction over the case—and that Libya is not unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out its proceedings in relation to the case against Mr Al-Senussi.”  The Chamber noted that if the Prosecutor is “fully satisfied that new facts have arisen which negate the basis on which the case had previously been found inadmissible,” she may submit a request for review of the decision.
