answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>​The UK has been clear about the need for perpetrators of human rights abuses in Libya to be held to account, regardless of their affiliation. We have taken action in the UN Security Council to sanction militia commanders who undermine Libya's peace and security. We have also called clearly on all Libyan parties to co-operate fully with the International Criminal Court, including in the case of Major Al-Werfalli. The UK co-sponsored a resolution at the March 2018 session of the Human Rights Council calling for greater accountability for those responsible for human rights abuses in Libya.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 178483 question first answered 22/10/2018 16:04:57 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
