Context of the Killing<\/h2>\n

Muammar Gaddafi was a former Prime Minister of Libya and held power for 42 years before he was found guilty of criminal behaviour during the 2011 Arab Spring uprising and killed.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the revolt, parts of the Libyan population had moved out of the country, or moved to join the uprising against Gaddafi. This was when the International Criminal Court (ICC) declared Gaddafi a criminal.<\/p>\n

During this period of turmoil in the country, different militia groups had differing aims and objectives and it became increasingly difficult for Gaddafi to hold onto power. The different militias began fighting each other and by March of 2011 it had become clear that Gaddafi’s regime was weakening rapidly.<\/p>\n

The ICC then seized the opportunity to strangle the regime and issued warrants for Gaddafi’s arrest. As the National Transitional Council (NTC) grew in strength and power, they began to target Gaddafi, his family and his forces.<\/p>\n
