Brussels - Former Democratic Republic of Congo rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba, accused of war crimes, will ask the UN Security Council to suspend his case, one of his lawyers said on Tuesday.

"The Security Council could demand a suspension (of the legal process) for somebody who has done a lot of work for peace," in the DR Congo, lawyer Aime Kilolo Musamba said on the margins of a court hearing in Brussels, where Bemba is being held.

"Steps in that direction will be made in the coming hours directly to the Security Council, as enshrined in the statutes of the International Criminal Court," the lawyer continued.
