The International Criminal Court won\'t intervene if Libya has a genuine investigation into the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the court\'s chief prosecutor said. Starting in March, international forces operating under a U.N. mandate used military force in Libya to protect civilians from forces loyal to Gadhafi, who had war crimes charges brought against him later by the ICC. Gaddafi died Oct. 20 after falling into rebel hands. Various video accounts of his capture show him alive after a suspected NATO strike hit his convoy near his hometown of Sirte. A later video showed him shirtless and lifeless on the ground. ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo testified before the U.N. Security Council that the court wouldn\'t intervene if there are \"genuine national proceedings\" in place to investigate Gadhafi\'s death. Gaddafi\'s son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, and his top aide Abdullah al-Senussi are at large. The prosecutor said it was up to them to surrender, stay on the run or try to leave Libya. \"It is up to the U.N. Security Council and states to ensure that they face justice for the crimes for which they are charged,\" he added. Ocampo noted that claims NATO forces and rebel forces may have been responsible for crimes committed during the conflict \"will be examined impartially and independently by the office (of the prosecutor).\"
