A/HRC/25/42 human rights mandate of UNSMIL, its Human Rights, Transitional Justice and Rule of Law Division was established from the outset. The Director of the Division represents the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Libya. 5. In February 2013, an international ministerial meeting on support to Libya in the areas of security, justice and rule of law was convened in Paris. The meeting was preceded by a senior officials meeting held in London in December 2012. During the meeting in Paris, the Government of Libya presented its priorities for the development and reform of the security, rule of law and justice sectors. The participants issued a communiqué and adopted the National Security Development Plan and the Justice and Rule of Law Development Plan, to be implemented by the Government of Libya with the assistance of the international community. The meeting welcomed the coordination role and the technical support provided by UNSMIL. 6. In early 2014, the country is expected to elect a 60-member Constitution Drafting Assembly. The new constitution, drafted by the Assembly, is due to be adopted by a referendum, which is to be followed by general elections in the same year. 7. Despite positive developments, such as the establishment of a national human rights institution, the National Council for Civil Liberties and Human Rights, and the establishment of a Human Rights Committee within the General National Congress, the criminal justice system is not yet fully functional and the security sector requires major reform. 8. Libya is a party to the core international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the Convention on the Rights of Child and the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrant Workers and Members of their Families. It has also ratified the first Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict. Libya is also a party to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, but has not yet ratified, inter alia, the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, or the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its Optional Protocol. In 2013, Libya ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, although it has not yet deposited the instrument of ratification. 9. Libya will undergo its second review by the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review in 2015. Under the Qadhafi regime, special procedures of the Human Rights Council were denied access to the country. Since the transition, visits by the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances and the Working Group on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights and impeding the exercise of the rights of peoples to self-determination were planned for May 2013 but had to be postponed for security reasons. The Human Rights, Transitional Justice and Rule of Law Division of UNSMIL has provided technical advice to the human rights section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on engagement with, and reporting to, the human rights treaty bodies, the universal periodic review and the special procedures of the Human Rights Council. The High Commissioner has been invited by the Government to conduct an official visit to Libya. 4
