The death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi means the end of a 42-year dictatorship but other members of the regime should be brought to The Hague for trial, prime minister Mark Rutte is reported as saying by news agency ANP.

Gaddafi was killed after an assault on his home town of Sirte, officials from the transitional authorities have said.
Rutte, who is in Russia on a three-day visit, said the people of Libya had opened themselves up to great personal danger by rebelling against Gaddafi’s rule.
‘We would rather that he had been called to account for his crimes in The Hague. In any case, let us hope the others who are being sought can be brought before the international criminal court,’ Rutte told Nos television.
Court
The Hague is host to the international criminal court which tries dictators and military leaders in cases of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
GroenLinks leader Jolande Sap said she was sorry that Gaddafi would not be brought to trial for his crimes against humanity. ‘Hopefully the last of his supporters will lay down their arms so that the process of reconciliation can finally begin.’
Labour leader Job Cohen described the news as a ‘historic day for Libya and the entire Arab world. ‘It is good that Gaddafi was captured but a shame that he is dead because he can no longer be held accountable for his crimes,’ Cohen said.
VVD foreign affairs spokesman Han ten Broeke said the lesson to be learned is that ‘there is no hiding place for dictators, no matter how long they hide, and they will eventually be held responsible.’
