Safeguarding Fundamental Rights

Human and community rights  include a range of rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to adequate food, housing, water, and sanitation, and the right to education; as well as family, minorities, and social fabric rights.

In Libya today, there is a weak security sector, an underdeveloped criminal justice system, lack of checks and balances to monitor abuses, and ignorance on the part of the public about their rights. This situation has led to violations of human and community rights. Securing human and community rights is an essential foundation for the nation’s progress that includes not just physical security but also safeguarding social, political, economic, and civic rights.
