Armed groups across Libya are responsible for crimes that could leave them liable in front of the International Criminal Court, warned the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL.)
In a statement released on Friday the organisation said that the groups were responsible for “abductions of civilians including minors on account of their actual perceived origin, opinion, family and political affiliation.2
The UNSMIL called on those with effective control and power in Libya, to “refrain from abducting civilians on the basis of their identity or opinion, to immediately release all those held on such grounds; and to ensure the well-being of anyone deprived of their liberty.”
