UN plans investigation of human rights abuses in Libya |
2015-03-29 |
![]() When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... abuses since the beginning of 2014. The aim is that proceedings be taken against those responsible. A resolution on helping improve human rights in Libya, submitted to the 28th Regular Session of the Council in Geneva which ended today, Friday , called on the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, to send a team to investigate human rights abuses since the beginning of 2014 "with a view to avoiding impunity and ensuring full accountability". The resolution, from Algeria and a number of other countries, said the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) should help the investigation and that a report be submitted to council at its thirty-first session. This is expected to take place in March 2016. The resolution, adopted unanimously by consensus, also condemned terrorism in Libya by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) as well as by other terrorist organizations. Calling on the Libyan government to increase efforts to end the impunity that has enabled the bully boyz to ride roughshod over international human rights law, the council said that all those responsible for violations had to be held accountable. |
