Tripoli: The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has emphasized the critical need for human rights to be at the forefront of Libya's new political roadmap. The Mission stressed that dignity, freedom, and justice are essential components for achieving peace and stability in the nation.According to Libyan News Agency, the statement from UNSMIL was released in conjunction with International Human Rights Day. The Mission highlighted that this year's theme, "Human Rights - At the Heart of Our Daily Lives," resonates deeply with Libya's ongoing struggles with conflict and division, which have eroded trust and weakened state institutions.The Mission pointed out that human rights violations, such as arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, violence against women, and restrictions on freedoms, hinder the nation's unity and the restoration of its social fabric. The commemoration of International Human Rights Day is particularly significant for Libya as it embarks on a new political process aimed at building a unified state.UNSMIL underscored the importance of ensuring that all Libyans have the right to political participation, the ability to elect their leaders, and to benefit from equitable development. The Mission committed to incorporating human rights principles into governance, security, and economic reforms. It emphasized that inclusive participation, including that of women, persons with disabilities, and cultural groups, is crucial in supporting Libya's path to stability.
