U.N. says Libya political exclusion law likely violates rights
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – A new law in Libya that bans anyone linked to Muammar Gaddafi from government, regardless of their part in toppling the long-time leader, is arbitrary, vague and likely to violate civil and political rights, the United Nations said on Tuesday.
U.N. special envoy to Libya, Tarek Mitri, told the U.N. Security Council that while it was “undeniable” the law had significant political support, the implementation of it risked further weakening Libya’s already shaky state institutions.
