Tripoli, January 27, 2026 (LANA) – Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba of the Government of National Unity received on Tuesday the periodic reports due from the Libyan state to the Human Rights Program from Minister of Justice Halima Ibrahim, after more than two decades of delays in their issuance.

The Minister explained that the preparation of these reports was the result of the Ministry's efforts since the issuance of Cabinet Resolutions No. 532 and 533, concerning the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission and the creation of the National Mechanism for the Preparation of Government Reports on Human Rights. This mechanism, the first of its kind in Libya, operates with the participation of government institutions and under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister stated that the National Mechanism operates at three levels: ministerial, oversight, and technical, through specialized teams, with technical support and training provided by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the United Nations. This support included the Higher Judicial Institute and workshops within the Ministry of Justice.

The submitted reports cover files that have remained incomplete for more than 20 years, and others that have been delayed for 12 and 10 years, such as reports on combating torture, the basic document, the rights of persons with disabilities, and civil, political, economic, and social rights.

For his part, Dabaiba affirmed that the Government of National Unity gives the human rights file the highest priority, stressing the government's continued support for all efforts aimed at strengthening adherence to international standards and raising the level of human rights in Libya.

The submission of these reports is a strategic step that reflects institutional discipline, enhances Libya's international presence, and keeps pace with the notable developments in the field of human rights.
