No. of Paragraph 13

A recent visit by the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya found “a wide array of war crimes and crimes against humanity” against Libyans and migrants.

On February 15, 2011, the Libyan Civil War began with anti-government demonstrations in Benghazi. Due to the violent response of the Libyan government against the protestors, little more than two weeks later, the United Nations Security Council referred the situation there to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. As a result, the ICC can exercise its jurisdiction over crimes against humanity and war crimes committed on the territory of Libya, or by its nationals, from 15 February 2011 onwards.

There is no doubt that in the ensuing 12 years, Libya has seen little peace. The war ended in October 2011, but another followed just three years later. In the chaos, terrorists attempted to gain a foothold there while warlords split the country, fighting over territory and oil fields. Caught in the middle of the violence was the civilian population. And in the meantime, opportunists of every stripe preyed on refugees from neighboring countries heading for Libya’s ports on the Mediterranean Sea, in hopes of a chance to cross into Europe.

It is therefore no surprise that a recent March visit by the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya found “a wide array of war crimes and crimes against humanity” against Libyans and migrants, including “repression of civic groups, arbitrary detention, murder, rape, enslavement, extrajudicial killing and enforced disappearance.”
