Libya told to end human rights abuses

[tabatha]

The spokesman added: “We have welcomed the TNC’s clear public statements that there should be no acts of retribution or reprisal and also their stated commitment to uphold the rule of law and due process. We also recognise that the Libyan authorities have been co-operating fully with the UN Human Rights Council’s commission of inquiry. The newly formed transitional government should take forward its commitment to respect human rights with clear actions on the ground.”

British officials hope the new government in Tripoli will now create and exercise the central authority that has been lacking since the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime. The UK is funding a project to provide training for lawyers and justice officials in order to improve understanding and adherence to international human rights standards. According to the UN report, most courts in Libya are currently “not fully operational” due to lack of security and absenteeism by judges and administrators.

10. "End human rights abuses"?

You mean like beating, chemically attacking and shooting projectiles at peaceful protesters voicing their opposition against government/corporate corruption and calling for accountability?
