Libya’s warring parties and their foreign backers have likely committed war crimes and crimes against humanity since 2016, a United Nations investigation found.
A team of investigators appointed by the Human Rights Council said Monday that attacks on hospitals, schools and migrant detention centers were common in the North African country’s civil war. As part of its investigation into extrajudicial killings, torture, sexual violence and other abuses, the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya reviewed hundreds of documents and interviewed more than 150 people in Libya, Tunisia and Italy.
