Haftar has proposed the setting up of a committee to distribute those revenues which come from oil, most of which is produced in eastern Libya. If the authorities fail to do that, the LNA will use force to make its argument. The Government of National Stability said it would stop the flow of oil and gas unless the western-based Government of National Unity appointed an eastern-government representative to oversee the National Oil Corporation, Argus reported at the time. Libya is currently busy trying to attract foreign investment in its oil industry in order to boost production and revenues. Yet this foreign investment will be less likely to come if the political stability situation deteriorates further.

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial emphasised on Wednesday that the recent boat tragedy on Greek shores, which claimed the lives of more than 300 people from Pakistan, was a grave issue concerning human rights. The fishing boat with a capacity of 400 people had over 700 people on board when it sank on June 14, Rana Sanaullah Khan told the parliament. “The responsibility of curbing human smuggling also falls on the police,” he added. “The Supreme Court had previously instructed provincial governments to actively combat human trafficking.”During the proceedings, the chief justice also recalled the Tayyaba abuse case. Consequently, the court ordered reports from all provinces regarding measures taken to combat human smuggling and data on out-of-school children to be submitted within a month.

Libyan military strongman Khalifa Haftar, who backs the politically-split country’s eastern administration, has threatened military action unless oil revenues are divided fairly by the end of August 2023. In an address to his officers on Monday, Haftar said a committee must be established “to put in place financial arrangements with a view to fair management of public funds” and oil revenues. Speaking in Rajma near Benghazi, Haftar announced “a deadline at the end of August for this committee to complete its mission”. Oil revenue is managed by Libya’s National Oil Corporation and central bank, both based in Tripoli. Groups close to the eastern camp disrupted operations at six oil fields and export terminals over demands for a more “equitable distribution” of hydrocarbon revenues.

Near Libya it was normal to see boats without engines, she said, because the Libyan Coast Guard poached them to reuse. “That’s why we have to say ‘so-called’ Libyan Coast Guard,” he told me in a thick accent.

"For us of course there is the Tripoli government, which is recognized internationally, so this is the main interlocutor. At the same time, he added that the "EU supports all the Libyan-led and international efforts to find a solution between the individual actors in Libya."

Prime Minister Robert Abela and Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri will take the witness stand this afternoon in a human rights case filed by asylum seekers who had been detained at sea for nearly 40 days. The former detainees are claiming that their prolonged confinement at sea constituted a breach of their fundamental rights. Malta had claimed that sea rescue was not possible because of limited resources, and prohibited humanitarian rescue vessels from entering port. They are also seeking compensation for the violation of their fundamental human rights. The plaintiffs are being assisted by aditus Foundation director and human rights lawyer Neil Falzon, aditus Foundation assistant director Carla Camilleri, aditus lawyer Mireille Boffa, lawyer and JRS director Katrine Camilleri, and lawyer Cedric Mifsud.
