Libya's National Transitional Council has named a new Cabinet that will govern the country until it holds its first elections since Moammar Gadhafi's ouster.
NTC officials announced the new line-up on Tuesday. It includes the appointment of Osama al-Juwali as defense minister. He is the commander of forces from the town of Zintan who captured the former dictator's fugitive son, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi.
Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court says Seif al-Islam may be tried in Libya rather than in The Hague, as long as the trial meets ICC standards.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo made the announcement as he met with officials in Tripoli on Tuesday.
The ICC has indicted Seif al-Islam and Gadhafi's former intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senoussi, for crimes against humanity. Libyan transitional fighters recently captured the men in separate raids in the country's southern desert.
International rights groups say the two men will not get fair trials in Libya. The country lacks an established judicial system after 42 years of rule by Gadhafi, who deliberately kept state institutions weak.
The United Nations Security Council has authorized the ICC to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity in Libya, but the tribunal can only prosecute alleged perpetrators if a country itself is unwilling or unable to do so.
U.S. State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland has called on Libyan authorities to deal with all prisoners humanely.
Moammar Gadhafi was killed in October as transitional forces took control of his hometown of Sirte.
