We continue to urge the interim Government of National Unity to take steps to end the exploitation and abuse of migrants and to implement a better functioning system that respects human rights. We support the UN's call for detention centres across Libya to be closed, and call on all parties to engage with the UN and the humanitarian community so that all migrants and refugees can be evacuated safely in accordance with international human rights law. We have consistently called for all sexual and gender based violence to end, including through UN Security Council Resolutions and at the UN Human Rights Council and reinforced this in our engagement with the Government of National Unity.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/12/2021 16:25:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
