That this House welcomes the UN-sponsored intra-Libyan
political talks to agree a unified governance framework and ensure
a lasting peace; notes with deep concern the serious war crimes and
human rights violations that have been committed by the warring
parties in the protracted conflict in Libya since 2011; stresses
the importance of justice for the many victims of these widespread
violations, by ensuring there are effective investigations and
prosecutions of the alleged perpetrators, believed to include
British nationals who were former Royal Marine commandos and
involved in mercenary operations for the Libyan National Army led
by Khalifa Haftar; further notes the reports of drone strikes and
attacks on civilians in Libya and other violations committed by
foreign countries which should also be investigated; supports the
work of the Fact-finding Mission on Libya established by the
UN Human Rights Council, and other initiatives to
ensure meaningful accountability; further supports the call by the
UN Mission in Libya for the immediate closure of migrant detention
centres in that country, further to reports of arbitrary detention,
torture, extrajudicial killings and sexual violence; and urges the
Government to work with others in the international community to
secure accountability for these violations and for countries and
mercenaries, including British nationals, who have supported the
warring parties.
