BRUSSELS: Some Nato members are worried that their organization may be investigated by the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor said allegations of crimes committed by Nato in Libya would be examined "impartially and independently," said diplomats accredited to Nato headquarters.
The diplomats said action to pre-empt a war crimes investigation would likely include an internal legal review of all incidents in which Nato actions caused civilian casualties . The alliance has always maintained that its operations in Libya were carried out strictly in keeping with a UNSC resolution that authorized member states "to take all necessary measures to protect civilian areas under threat of attack" .
