flag EU officials face ICC probe over alleged crimes in Libya migration cooperation.

flag Human rights lawyers have asked the ICC to investigate 122 European Union officials over alleged crimes against humanity linked to the EU’s migration cooperation with Libya. flag The 700-page submission, based on six years of research, accuses EU policies of enabling the interception, detention, and forced transfer of migrants to Libya, where thousands faced torture, rape, enslavement, and death. flag The lawyers identify high-level figures, including former leaders like Mark Rutte and Donald Tusk, as potential co-perpetrators. flag The ICC has not yet decided whether to open a formal probe, while the EU maintains its cooperation aims to protect migrants and reduce irregular departures despite widespread criticism and U.N. findings.
