UN calls for international investigation into Gaddafi death

The UN has called for an international investigation into the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the deposed Libayn leader, saying it could well have been a war crime.

Christof Heyns, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, told Al Jazeera that a proper investigation into the exact events surrounding Gaddafi's death was a key test for Libya's future as a democratic and accountable state.
