APGeneva: UN-backed human rights experts said on Monday there is evidence that crimes against humanity have been committed against Libyans and migrants in chaos-stricken Libya, including women being forced into sexual slavery. The investigators found "reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity were committed against Libyans and migrants throughout Libya,” said Mohamed Auajjar, the head of the fact-finding mission. The "wide-scale exploitation of vulnerable, irregular migrants” churned up "significant revenue” that spurred continued rights violations, it said. The investigators said the situation of human rights has been getting worse. In November, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said his office had joined a coalition of nations investigating human trafficking in the country.
