The recent trial in Libya of members of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime fell short of international standards, a new UN report has said.
In the report issued yesterday, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) recognised the challenge of trying former members of the regime, especially amid armed conflict and political polarisation.
They noted that the trial raised concerns such as serious violations of due process, including prolonged periods of incommunicado detention for the defendants amid allegations of torture which were not properly investigated.
