A/HRC/31/47 77. The High Commissioner also supports the listing of individuals responsible for planning, directing or committing acts that violate applicable international human rights law or international humanitarian law, or acts that constitute human rights abuses under the sanctions regime of the Security Council,13 while urging that sanctions imposed be accompanied by rigorous procedural safeguards to guarantee minimum standards of due process. VIII. Update on technical assistance 78. In 2015, the UNSMIL Human Rights Division, supported by OHCHR, continued to advise Libyan counterparts on international human rights and rule of law standards. UNMSIL/OHCHR supported the Libyan political dialogue process, and provided technical assistance on the inclusion of human rights provisions. Ongoing technical assistance has been extended to a joint Tawergha/Misrata committee to address issues that include the safe return of Tawerghans to their homes, reparations, accountability of perpetrators and the reconstruction of Tawergha. 79. UNSMIL/OHCHR gave advice to the Constitutional Drafting Assembly on human rights provisions, including during a workshop with some members of the Assembly in Geneva in February 2015. In November 2015, a meeting was organized for directors of Libyan rehabilitation and correction institutions, which led to the adoption of a new Code of Ethics and Conduct for the personnel of such institutions. UNSMIL/OHCHR contributed to sessions on human rights monitoring and reporting standards during workshops in Tunisia organized by partner organizations, for personnel from the National Council for Civil Liberties and Human Rights as well as civil society organizations. In August 2015, UNSMIL/OHCHR convened a meeting of Libyan civil society organizations to learn from comparative experiences of peacebuilding. 80. Once the Government of National Accord is established, it is expected that the United Nations will be able to increase its capacity-building activities. IX. Recommendations 81. Recognizing the urgent need to bring an end to the widespread human rights violations and abuses being committed in Libya, and to provide for justice and accountability, the High Commissioner appeals to all parties to the conflict promptly to cease hostilities and to support the establishment of a Government of National Accord, to move towards a State based on respect for human rights and the rule of law. 82. Accordingly, the High Commissioner recommends that all parties to the conflict: (a) Desist immediately from all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and abuses of human rights, including those amounting to crimes under international law; (b) Declare that such acts will not be tolerated and remove those suspected of such acts from active duty pending investigation. 83. 13 16 The High Commissioner recommends that the Government of Libya: See Security Council resolution 2213 (2015), para. 11.
