Will Gaddafi be brought before the International Court?
International efforts to halt violence in Libya are gathering pace as the United Nations, NATO, and the European Union meet today to draw up an emergency response.
In Geneva, the UN Human Rights Council met in special session to consider calls to expel Libya over a crackdown which High Commissioner Navi Pillay said was "escalating alarmingly with reported mass killings, arbitrary arrests, detention and torture of protesters."
Pillay urged the international community to interfere and stop the violence against the Libyan protesters.
The UN representative also called for an international probe into Libya's violent crackdown on the protesters saying widespread and systematic attacks against civilians "may amount to crimes against humanity."

She said the two governments would also propose bringing members of the Libyan regime before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
