A/HRC/28/51 on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, but it has not yet deposited the instrument of ratification. III. Human rights priorities and technical support needs A. Protection of civilians 1. Indiscriminate shelling and other violations of international humanitarian law 11. Indiscriminate attacks by all sides in densely populated areas have been frequently reported, resulting in civilian casualties in Tripoli, Benghazi, Warshafana, the Nafusa Mountains and other areas. While the precise number of casualties is not known, hundreds are reported to have been killed. Land mines were reportedly used in the Tripoli International Airport area and explosive remnants of war are a major hazard for civilians. 12. Armed groups have been using a variety of weapons, including small arms, rockets, mortars, anti-aircraft guns, tanks and air attacks. Many of the weapons used are unreliable because they are old and poorly maintained, with inaccurate aiming systems and faulty ammunition. Fighters have received little training and do not operate with the appropriate discipline, command and control systems. Those factors have contributed to the indiscriminate nature of many attacks. 13. There have been frequent power, fuel and food shortages and a breakdown in basic health and education services. 14. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that the violence has led to the internal displacement of nearly 400,000 persons between May and November 2014.3 15. Civilian infrastructure in Benghazi, Tripoli and other parts of Libya has been damaged extensively by the fighting. Armed groups affiliated with different camps have also engaged in the deliberate destruction of civilian property belonging to their perceived opponents in Benghazi, Tripoli and Warshafana, including through the use of bulldozers. 16. Several hospitals were hit, including Tripoli Al-Afya Hospital and Tripoli Central Hospital, during July and August 2014. In September, a hospital in Al-Zawiya was also hit and Al-Zahra hospital in the Warshafana area was reportedly looted and burned. In Benghazi, the Hawari General Hospital suspended operations due to the fighting, and Ansar al-Shari’a temporarily occupied Al-Jalaa hospital and reportedly shelled a wing of the Benghazi Medical Centre, setting off a fire in December. Reports were also received of the obstructed evacuation of injured persons and of impeded humanitarian assistance, as well as of the misuse of medical vehicles for military purposes. 2. Summary executions, abductions, torture and other ill-treatment 17. Throughout 2014, UNSMIL/OHCHR received reports of summary executions by targeted assassination, car bombs and beheadings. Human rights defenders, civil society activists and media professionals, as well as members of the judiciary and law enforcement officers, were among the victims, amidst the increasing violence. In November, footage of the beheading of several people, apparently in Benghazi and Derna, were circulated on social media. 3 See www.unhcr.org/5465fdb89.html. 5
