Amnesty International Call for International Sanctions and Investigation of War Crimes in Libya.

Tripoli, 29 January 2015(Lana) The Human rights organistion Amnesty International on Wednesday called on the UN to impose selective sanctions and investigate possible war crimes in Libya. The organisation said in a report 'the fighting in Benghazi involved an exchange of attacks, kidnapping, indiscriminate killing and torture on both sides, and the city was steadily descending into Chaos and lawlessness, and torn apart by violence perpetrated by rival groups and collaborators seeking vengeance. It called on the UN Security Council 'to impose sanctions like travel ban and asset freezing on perpetrators of the violations, and to extend the scope of Criminal Court investigations to include war crimes.' The UN is conducting negotiations between Libyan parties in Geneva to form a national government and restore stability to the country. Amnesty International said 'the ongoing political efforts are meaningless unless they address concerns over human rights violations which cannot be ignored. =Lana=
