Human rights conditions in Libya remain precarious as serious abuses carried out by armed groups are rampant and impunity for past abuses continues. Sweeping restrictions against domestic and international civic groups in the country remain in place, effectively muzzling independent groups doing vital human rights and humanitarian work. The FFM’s investigative work has a key role to play in supporting pathways to accountability for past and ongoing violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in Libya.
