Libya: Alkarama Calls On State Delegations to Make Appropriate Recommendations Ahead of the State's Upcoming Universal Periodic Review

press release

On 10 April 2015, Alkarama briefed representatives from permanent missions in Geneva on its priority recommendations in view of Libya's Universal Periodic Review (UPR), which will be held in Geneva on 13 May 2015. Alkarama presented the key issues which need to be urgently addressed by Libya, in particular torture, enforced disappearances, the targeting of civilians by different groups and the inefficiency of the judicial system.

The UPR involves a review of the human rights record of all UN Member States by the Human Rights Council every four years. The reviews take place through an interactive discussion between the State under review and other UN Member States. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) can submit information which can be referred to by any of the States taking part in the interactive discussion.
