Libya: Human Rights

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government will impose sanctions on people found guilty by the International Criminal Court of human rights violations in Libya.

Answer

Whilst arrest warrants have been issued, no individual has yet been convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes in Libya. The UK strongly supports the work of the ICC to hold accountable those responsible for the most serious crimes in Libya. The UK continues, with our partners in the international community, to consider potential sanctions on individuals responsible for human rights violations or abuses in Libya.
