On May 21, 2014, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed [3] the decision [4] of Pre-Trial Chamber I, declaring admissible the case against Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi. According to the press release [5], “the Appeals Chamber was of the view that the Pre-Trial Chamber did not err in either fact or law when it concluded that Libya had fallen short of substantiating, by means of evidence of a sufficient degree of specificity and probative value, that Libya's investigation covers the same case that is before the Court.” President Song wrote a separate opinion [6] and Judge Ušacka appended a dissenting opinion [7] to the judgment.
