No way out: Migrants and refugees trapped in Libya face crimes against humanity

Report
2021

For over a decade, the situation of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers1 in Libya has deteriorated to such levels that it has shocked the global conscience. As the country descended into conflict and chaos following the 2011 uprising, migrants and refugees experienced some of the worst atrocities at the hands of state and non-state actors alike. This report by ECCHR, Lawyers for Justice in Libya (LFJL) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) argues, firstly, that these atrocities may amount to crimes against humanity and, as such, should be investigated and prosecuted by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Secondly, it questions the role of the European Union (EU) and its member states in facilitating these crimes.
