Kadhafi: où peut-il aller s'il quitte?


Proche-Orient, Amérique latine, Asie, Afrique? Un article qui présente les différentes hypothèses.

"The rebels went public Sunday with details of a pact they had offered Qaddafi around a month ago. Under this agreement, he would be allowed to remain in Libya in return for ceding power.

However, that offer was made before the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Qaddafi and his son, Saif al-Islam.

That means if Qaddafi were to hand over the reigns now, yet remain in the country, then the country's new leaders would be in violation of the ICC.

Qaddafi's lawyers have argued that the country is not bound to honor the warrants, given that Libya is not a signed-up member of the court. The Sudanese said the same when their leader, Omar al-Bashir, was indicted by the court. Like the Sudanese, the Libyans are wrong. The court does have the authority to act in countries that are not members if the UN Security Council asks it to do so. The only times it has made this request to date have been in the cases of Sudan and Libya.

Given that the ICC warrants are legal, they certainly complicate Qaddafi's choices should he decide to flee the country. Venezuela was originally touted as a possible refuge for him, including by Britain's foreign minister, William Hague. However, given that Venezuela is a member of the court, Hugo Chavez would now find himself in breach of his obligations were he to offer Qaddafi a spot in the sun.

So what's an ICC-indicted dictator to do in these troubled times? Here's a look at his options were he to choose to run."
