As many of you will have seen, the International Criminal Court's prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo announced on Monday that he wants Col Gaddafi arrested for crimes against humanity. Today he'll join me on WHYS' TV edition to answer your questions about that decision, and about any other part of the ICC's work. If you'd like to speak to Luis Moreno-Ocampo, please leave your comment and your number here (don't worry, we don't publish your number), Otherwise, just leave a question and I'll do my best to read out as many as I can. Thanks.

I am disappointed at ICC cheif responses.ICC should not be hiding behind glass of water and a map. We are talking about world justice here. No one should be washing their hand off so easily and pass the buck on to security councel someone else on fairness and true justice.
Thanks
