UN send fact-finding mission to Libya to investigate war crimes

The International Criminal Court urged U.N. Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet to dispatch a fact-finding mission to "document alleged human rights violations and abuses.

United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) issued a resolution in which it decided to send a fact-finding mission to Libya to verify the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors' war crimes allegations.

Recently, ICC pointed out that mass graves discovered in the North African country are associated with war crimes. In this regard, UNHRC condemned all acts of violence in Libya and pledged to investigate the abuses committed in the civil war, involving "torture, sexual and gender-based violence and harsh conditions in prisons and detention centers."

This way, ICC urges U.N. Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet to dispatch a fact-finding mission to "document alleged human rights violations and abuses."
