Misión independiente de determinación de los hechos en Libia
Background
On 22 June 2020, the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) established the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya (FFM) by resolution 43/39 for a period of one year, to investigate violations and abuses of human rights throughout Libya by all parties since the beginning of 2016, with a view to preventing further deterioration of the human rights situation, and to ensuring accountability.
On 5 October 2020, the FFM presented an oral update to the HRC – see Statements. The following day, the HRC adopted decision 45/113, which, along with postponing the implementation of other HRC mandates due to the liquidity crisis affecting the UN Secretariat and the restrictions imposed due to COVID-19, extended the mandate of the FFM until September 2021. The secretariat supporting the work of the FFM became fully operational only in June 2021.
On 7 October 2021, the FFM presented a written report to the HRC – see Documentation below. Subsequently, on 11 October 2021, the HRC extended the mandate of the FFM for nine months to allow for the implementation of its mandate (Resolution 48/25).
On 4 July 2022, the HRC extended the mandate of the FFM for a final non-extendable period of nine months, to present its concluding recommendations (decision 50/L.23).
In this connection, the FFM on Libya renews its invitation to individuals, groups and organizations to submit new or complementary information and documentation relevant to the FFM’s mandate in relation to all acts of violence in Libya, particularly those that may constitute violations and abuses of international human rights law and violations of international humanitarian law that have been committed, in particular against civilians, including specifically against women and children. You can download the relevant templates in العربية or English, and submit them through the secure cloud created by the FFM for this purpose. Submissions should be received as soon as possible, but no later than 31 December 2022.
