The militias who retain loyal to the new "government" (one of two..) so far has refused to deliver it. Seif al-Islam Gaddafi is also required by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity. But until now it was not extradited because the authorities considered that his trial was a right of the Libyan people. 

After the verdict, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Thorbjørn Jagland, censured the Libyan measure and asked that his case rests with the Criminal Court International Hague. He argued that the international tribunal is committed to "promote the abolition of the death penalty in Europe and in the rest of the world."
