4. Engage Libyan authorities and those with effective control on the ground in Libya to ensure
respect for the rights of migrants. In particular, ensure that any training and support for
Libyan institutions which engage with migrants is accompanied by comprehensive efforts to
address the human rights of migrants, including through ending their arbitrary detention and
improving their treatment in detention.
5. Ensure that due diligence policies and measures are in place to mitigate the risk that support
to Libyan individuals or institutions results in violations and abuses of the human rights of
migrants. In this regard, the European Union should further evaluate its program of training
and support to the Libyan Coast Guard and Navy to ensure that its vetting procedures are
stringent and its human rights component is comprehensive, including to ensure the
protection of migrants at disembarkation points. The European Union should also establish a
follow-up monitoring and support mechanism upon completion of the training to assist the
Libyan Coast Guard in protecting the rights of those rescued.
6. Continue to support the lifesaving, human rights and other humanitarian activities of
international organizations working on behalf of those in detention.
7. Continue to support the activities of IOM aimed at ensuring voluntary, humanitarian and
sustainable repatriation of migrants, and continue to support the activities of UNHCR aimed
at identifying and providing protection to asylum seekers and refugees.
8. Ensure that migrant victims of physical and mental abuse, exploitation as well as other
traumatic experiences are referred as a matter of priority to the appropriate services,
including medical and psychosocial services. In particular, provide survivors of rape and
other forms of sexual violence with the protection and treatment appropriate to their
circumstances, including sexual and reproductive health services.
To countries of origin:
1. Facilitate the voluntary, humanitarian and sustainable repatriation of stranded migrants, in
full respect of migrants’ human rights.
2. Work with donors on human rights and development programs aimed at making returns
sustainable and providing alternatives to irregular migration.
3. Engage with communities of origin, and where appropriate carry out community-based
education campaigns, to develop greater understanding of the risks associated with travelling
through Libya, including by supporting the IOM campaign entitled “Aware Migrants” the
UNHCR campaign entitled “Know before you go”.
