UN Support Mission in Libyan UNSMIL’s Human Rights and Rule of Law team met with the Abu Salim victims’ association Wednesday “to discuss victim-centered transitional justice measures and national calls for accountability for the 1996 mass killing of more than 1,200 detainees in Abu Salim prison in Tripoli,” according to UNSMIL.
“Ensuring accountability for this crime against humanity is critical for rights-based national reconciliation and to send a clear message to human rights violators in the fight against impunity in Libya,” the Mission tweeted.
