(CNN) -- The Libyan government argued Tuesday that it should not have to hand over Saif al-Islam Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court because the court in the Hague, Netherlands, does not have jurisdiction in the case. Gadhafi, son of deposed strongman Moammar Gadhafi, was facing an arrest warrant from the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity at the time of his capture in November 2011. The court is still seeking to prosecute him and wants him handed over. Gadhafi has been held in the Libyan city of Zintan since his capture. The two-day hearing is being held in the Hague.

"An unfair trial before a @placeholder court where the accused could face the death penalty is no way to guarantee justice and accountability," the rights group said.
