Popis:	Traditionally, individuals could bring their claims to international court(s) against international persons through their states representing them before courts by way of `diplomatic protection'. What then are the legal solutions if the state is unable or unwilling to pursue the case on behalf of the individual? Where can an individual seek justice if an international person caused the damage? This article focuses on the right of individuals to make claims against international persons. Crimes allegedly committed by NATO and other states forces' during the war in Libya will be taken as a practical example for this study. The article will analyse the right of Libyan victims harmed by these actors' bombardment to take legal action within or outside Libya; whether such action be civil, criminal or both.
