A/HRC/30/16
135. The delegation stated that Libya was party to most of the major international human
rights instruments. Article 7 of the Constitutional Declaration stipulated that Libya had to
accede to all international human rights instruments. This had been witnessed in the
accession to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, insecurity
and the political crisis had a negative impact on reporting to treaty bodies. In terms of
providing technical assistance towards establishing the rule of law and rebuilding the
judiciary, efforts were continuing in cooperating and coordinating with UNSMIL and
OHCHR.
136. Extending appreciation to all delegations, the Deputy Minister stated that all
recommendations would be examined by the relevant authorities in Libya and that Libya
would provide its response in due time, which reflected its commitment to the universal
periodic review and its will to address the current human rights concerns.
