Episode 15: Calling on the ICC to investigate crimes against humanity in Libya

The Civil Fleet Podcast

Dec 18 2021 • 44 mins

In November, three prominent human rights groups filed a report to the International Criminal Court (ICC) into possible crimes against humanity being committed on migrants and refugees in Libya.

The groups — European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), Lawyers for Justice in Libya, and the International Federation for Human Rights — also warned that the EU’s migration policies have “significantly contributed to this grave situation.”

In today's episode, Silvia Rojas-Castro, a legal advisor at the ECCHR, and Elise Flecher, senior programmes officer at Lawyers for Justice in Libya, tell us all about this and why the three organisations are calling on the ICC to act.
