The United Nations Support Mission in Libya reaffirmed today, Wednesday, the necessity of putting the victims at the heart of any national reconciliation process.
In a post on its Facebook page, the mission refused to grant amnesty for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and serious violations of international human rights law, after the conclusion of the activities of the conference ‘Supporting a Comprehensive Process for National Reconciliation and Transitional Justice,’ which was held in Tripoli last Monday and Tuesday.
The mission said that the conference is part of broader efforts facilitated by the United Nations mission to support a comprehensive reconciliation process based on rights and transitional justice centered on victims in Libya.
It was added that enhancing the safe and meaningful participation of victims and setting clear terms and conditions around amnesties were among the most important recommendations presented yesterday, Tuesday, by more than 95 representatives of victims and civil so
ciety organizations at the conclusion of the conference, which focused on victims and was based on rights in Libya.
It was also indicated that representatives of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya were joined by the representative in the Presidential Council, Abdullah Al-Lafi, and Al-Taher Al-Baour, in charge of running the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in addition to experts in transitional justice, where they made presentations on reconciliation experiences in countries such as Guatemala, Rwanda, and Colombia.

Syria strongly condemned the brutal crime committed by the Israeli occupation today against Palestinians who were waiting to receive food aid west of Gaza City, noting that most countries and peoples of the world protested against the continuation of genocide in Gaza as the International Court of Justice issued obligatory orders to stop the Israeli massacres, but the US-backed occupation entity confirms that it will not comply with international legitimacy, international law or international humanitarian law.
‘The racist Zionist entity has once again revealed its bloody and fascist face through the massacres it has been committing for approximately five months against innocent Palestinian women, children and the elderly, and this morning its fascist forces committed a massacre against the Palestinians who were waiting for weeks humanitarian aid trucks to arrive in southwest Gaza, which claimed the lives of more than 100 while about 1,000 were wounded,’ Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement Thu
rsday.
The Ministry stressed that Syria, which stood by the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip and the West Bank, affirms once again its strong condemnation of the criminals of the Israeli occupation and the crimes they commit, and calls on its supporters to stop this massacre immediately, otherwise they will be an integral part of the humanitarian catastrophe committed by the occupation and all those who support it.
