| NCHRL: Massive Violations of Human Rights Still Prevalent in Libya Despite 10 Years of Political Change |
| 2020-08-31 |
| [LIBYAREVIEW] On the International Day of Enforced Disappearance taking place on August 30, the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) reported that after ten years of political change in Libya, the country is still witnessing numerous grave human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... violations.Kidnapping and enforced disappearances based on social identity and political affiliation are among the most prominent forms of these violations, according to the Commission. The NCHRL has expressed its concern over the spread of enforced disappearances and urged all parties to the conflict not to use enforced disappearance as a tool of war. The Committee also reminded the warring parties that the kidnapping of civilians constitutes hostage-taking, which remains a war crime. Per Rome Statute Article 7, hostage-taking is considered to be enforced disappearance and remains a crime against humanity. The Committee also reminds all parties to the conflict that, according to Article 1, paragraph 1, of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, "no person shall be subjected to enforced disappearance, whether concerning a state of war, threat of war, internal political instability, or any other exceptional situation to justify enforced disappearance.
