The National Human Rights Committee welcomes the ICC's strategy on Libya.

Tripoli, May 01, 2022 (LANA) - The National Human Rights Committee of Libya welcomed the new strategy for the work of the International Criminal Court in Libya announced by Prosecutor General Karim Khan before the UN Security Council.

In a statement, the committee considered that the adoption of this new strategy will contribute significantly to supporting efforts to enhance accountability, end impunity, guarantee the rights of victims, enhance the rule of law and justice, and contribute to achieving peace in Libya.

The Human Rights Committee stressed that accountability for violations of human rights and international humanitarian law is essential to achieving peace and stability after many years of impunity in Libya.

The committee also stressed the need for the investigation to be comprehensive of all forms and practices of violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed during the past years from 2011 to 2020 by all parties in Libya.

 The Prosecutor of the Criminal Court had presented, during a session of the UN Security Council last Thursday, a briefing containing his twenty-third report, which included a new strategy based on giving priority to the situation in Libya, providing the necessary resources and cooperating with the authorities to enhance and support accountability efforts.
