Fact-Finding Mission to Libya Presents Report to HRC

The Independent Fact-Finding Mission to investigate human rights violations in Libya presented on Monday its final report and recommendations to the Human Rights Council (HRC).

The representatives of the States and non-governmental organizations praised the investigative effort of the report, while expressing their aspiration to implement its recommendations, with a view to putting an end to serious human rights violations and ensuring accountability and reparation for the victims.

Since its inception, the Mission has conducted more than 400 interviews, mainly with witnesses and victims, and has collected more than 2,800 separate pieces of information. The Mission undertook 13 missions, including three during the last mandate extension period.

The Mission has found reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed against Libyans and migrants since 2016, Aujjar said, lamenting that such crimes continue today.
