London: British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Sunday that diplomatic immunity for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his family has been revoked in Britain.
Hague told a British TV, “We have here a country descending into civil war, with atrocious scenes of killing of protesters and a government actually making war on its own people so of course it is time for Colonel Gaddafi to go. That is the best hope for Libya.
“And last night I signed a directive revoking his diplomatic immunity in the United Kingdom but also the diplomatic immunity of his sons, his family, his household.”
The United Nations Security Council unanimously voted earlier to refer the brutal repression of the popular Libyan uprising to the International Criminal Court.
