New York, 27 October 2024 (Lana) Libya reaffirmed its commitment to promoting and protecting human rights at the national and international levels, denouncing the double standards practiced by some countries in dealing with these rights.

This came during a statement by the UN Mission's Advisor, Mohammed Abu Snena, before the United Nations Committee on Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Affairs at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly held in New York.

Libya expressed its regret over the continued denial of the right of developing countries to development, calling for reforming the international human rights system to be more just and effective, away from selectivity and double standards.

Libya stressed that achieving this requires a comprehensive cooperative approach, away from politicizing human rights to serve narrow interests.

Libya expressed concern about the ongoing violations in the occupied Palestinian territories over decades and described what is currently happening in Gaza as an "unprecedented humanitarian tragedy.

The statement denounced the double standards practiced by some countries in dealing with human rights and their presentation of political justifications that contradict the most basic humanitarian principles, calling the international community to assume its responsibilities and hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes.
