MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a report, revealing widespread human rights violations during the past two years of the Libyan conflict.
"Despite the human rights situation in Libya, the country only sporadically makes the headlines. A multitude of actors – both State and non-State – are accused of very serious violations and abuses that may, in many cases, amount to war crimes," the UN human rights chief was quoted as saying in a press release following the report's release.
The instability has facilitated the emergence of numerous militant groups in the state, particularly Islamic State, which is outlawed in many countries, including the United States and Russia.
