<p>The UK does not fund the operation of Libyan detention centres. Our humanitarian
support is carefully targeted to address the worst aspects of the detention centres
in Libya, protect migrants' human rights and improve conditions. This includes providing
essential relief items and medical consultations, and improving facilities. All of
our work is underpinned throughout by the 'do-no-harm' principle, with various checks
in place to consider possible risks to vulnerable migrants, and to ensure human rights
compliance.</p><p>UK support for the Libyan Coastguard aims to increase Libya's ability
to secure its own maritime borders in a human rights compliant way, with a focus on
rescue activities and disrupting people smuggling. We expect all vessels to operate
in accordance with International Maritime Law, including the exercise of restraint
in the use of force, and adherence to established human rights norms.</p>
