Uniunea Africana a decis sa nu execute mandatul international de arestare emis pe numele lui Gaddafi
Rebelii au anuntat sambata ca oferta UA este pozitiva, intrucat ar indica faptul ca Gaddafi nu mai este vazut ca avand vreun rol in Libia.
La summit au luat parte atat reprezentanti ai lui Gaddafi, cat si ai rebelilor.
"Vom lansa foarte curand negocieri in Addis", a anuntat presedintele Africii de Sud, Jacob Zuma.
Intr-o rezolutie adoptata de grupul format din 53 de natiuni, UA "decide ca statele membre nu coopereaza la executarea mandatului de arestare" impotriva colonelului Gaddafi si cere consiliul de securitae sa "puna in functiunune dispozitiile in vederea anularii procesului de la Curtea Penala Internationala in vederea Libiei".
In plus, UA condiera ca "mandatul de arestare complica foarte serios eforturile pentru gasirea unei solutii politice".
In cadrul conferintei de presa de inchidere, presedintele comisiei Uniunii Africane, Jean Ping din Gabon, a afirmat: "Suntem impotriva impunitatii. Suntem pentru lupta impotriva impunitatii. Treizeci si una de tari africane fac parte din Curtea Penala Internationala dar noi suntem impotriva modului in care functioneaza aceasta".
Procurorul Curtii Penale Internationale (CPI) Luis Moreno-Ocampo "nu condamna decat africani, nu judeca decat africani. In Afganistan, Pakistan, Gaza, Cecenia ... in Sri Lanka, doar in Africa sunt probleme? Aceasta este intrebarea care se pune", a continuat el.

Libyan rebel leaders have welcomed an African Union offer to open talks with the government in Tripoli without the direct involvement of Muammar Gaddafi.
The Transitional National Council said it was the first time the AU had recognised the people's aspirations for democracy and human rights in Libya.
The talks offer was agreed at an AU summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
The AU also told members not to execute an arrest warrant for Col Gaddafi from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The warrant "seriously complicates the efforts aimed at finding a negotiated political settlement to the crisis in Libya, which will also address, in a mutually reinforcing way, issues related to impunity and reconciliation," delegates said in a statement.
The chairman of the AU Commission, Jean Ping, said they were not against the ICC, but felt that the court was "discriminatory" and targeted only officials from the African continent.
A total of 31 states in Africa are signatories to the ICC, representing nearly a third of the nations where the mandate applies.
Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim welcomed the decision.
"The ICC is a European Guantanamo Bay. It's only against the African leaders. It never deals with the crimes committed by the United States of America... and by the European powers," he told reporters in Tripoli.
Col Gaddafi, along with his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanussi, has been accused of crimes against humanity. The ICC said it had grounds to believe they ordered attacks on civilians.
Ceasefire call
The offer of talks without Col Gaddafi's involvement followed intense debates between African leaders at the summit over two days.
The AU also called for an immediate ceasefire and the lifting of the UN no-fly zone which paved the way for Nato's military intervention ....
