answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>The UK notes the abuse of migrants and refugees in Libya and the inhumane conditions in detention centres. The Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya is assessing human rights abuses and violations in detention centres. The UK co-sponsored the renewal of the Fact Finding Mission's mandate in July. 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.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park grouped question UIN HL2221 question first answered 28/09/2022 12:42:36 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
