STORY: :: The UN is investigating horrific reports of a

mass grave in Libya, says human rights chief

:: July 9, 2024

:: Geneva, Switzerland

:: Volker Turk, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights

In March this year a mass grave was discovered in south-western Libya, containing at least 65 bodies presumed to be migrants. As if this were not horrific enough, we are following up on reports of another mass grave recently discovered in the desert area at the Libyan-Tunisian border. I urge the authorities to respond swiftly to our inquiries, and to investigate these crimes fully. The loved ones of those who died have every right to know the truth. And the responsibility for investigating these crimes falls squarely with the Libyan authorities.

Volker Turk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, that he denounced widespread violations against migrants and refugees in Libya, which straddles a dangerous transit route running through the Sahara Desert and across the southern Mediterranean.

He gave no further details of the suspected identity of the mass grave victims or how the site was found. A spokesperson at Turk's office said: "We have not received information from the authorities but we are continuing to follow up on this."

In March, at least 65 bodies of migrants were discovered at a mass grave site in southwest Libya's al-Jahriya valley about 260 miles (420 km) south of Tripoli, the U.N.-affiliated International Organization for Migration said.

Libya and Tunisia are both vital partners in the European Union's efforts to stem the flow of migrants across the Mediterranean from North Africa into southern Europe.

The National Development Agency, operating under the General Command, has signed an agreement with Turkish construction company TGG to develop the #Benghazi_Towers project. This initiative involves constructing three towers overlooking the 23rd of July Lake and the golf course near the sports city.

According to a source from the agency, the complex will be located in the Juliana area and will consist of three towers: the tallest at 124 meters, the second at 84 meters, and the third at 68 meters. The tallest tower will serve as office space for various companies and commercial activities, the second will be a hotel, and the third will be residential.

The source noted that TGG has experience in construction, operating in over 15 countries, including Libya. The construction phase of the project is expected to last one and a half years, with TGG managing the complex for two years after completion.

The project is divided into a residential tower, a hotel tower, and an office tower. The planned execution period for construction is one and a half years, followed by a two-year management and operation phase by the Turkish company.

The European Union (EU) reaffirmed in a statement on Tuesday its readiness to work with the Libyan authorities to achieve sustainable peace and stability while supporting reconciliation, transitional justice, and the national unity of the state.

This came in a statement on the report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on technical assistance in Libya and measures for technical assistance and capacity building, indicating through the European Union that close cooperation with the United Nations Support Mission in Libya and engagement with the Libyan authorities contributed to strengthening dialogue and cooperation.

The European Union commended Libya's efforts to participate in human rights discussions, urging Libyans to continue taking steps toward improving the general human rights situation in the country, while ensuring accountability and justice regarding human rights violations and abuses.

The statement expressed the European Union's concern about the challenges that Libya continues to face, with violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary arrests and detentions.

The EU also stressed its commitment and that of its member states to cooperate and engage in dialogue with the Libyan authorities to enhance protection, migration governance, and border management in a way that supports and promotes human rights. It called on the Libyan authorities to fully cooperate with the United Nations human rights system and the International Criminal Court, as well as to facilitate unhindered and safe access to all parts of Libya, including to places of detention.
