7. Recommendations The situation of migrants in Libya is a human rights crisis. In order to properly respond to the current situation, a comprehensive solution is required in line with international law which addresses not only the situation in Libya but also countries of origin and destination beyond Libya. In this regard, cooperation and coordination at the regional and international level is critical.59 UNSMIL and OHCHR make the following recommendations to urgently improve the situation of migrants in Libya: To the Libyan authorities: Immediate measures 1. With a view to urgently ending the arbitrary detention of all migrants, release immediately: a. those most vulnerable, in particular women at risk, including pregnant women; families and children especially if unaccompanied or separated; persons with particular health concerns; and persons with disabilities; b. individuals identified by UNHCR to be in need of international protection as asylum seekers and refugees, and protect them from refoulement. 2. Close all detention centres not managed by DCIM, and reduce the number of DCIM detention centres in the country. Consider relocating all detainees in western Libya into a single detention centre in Tripoli. 3. Ensure that female detainees are held separately from male detainees, and are guarded only by adequately trained female officers. 4. Pending the abolition of mandatory detention of migrants, the Libyan authorities should: a. improve conditions of detention immediately, and specifically provide adequate food, medical care, water and sanitation; 59 As an illustration, the General Assembly adopted the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants which sets out a commitment to launch a process of intergovernmental negotiations leading to the adoption of a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. The declaration notes that the compact will set out a range of principles, commitments and understandings among Member States regarding international migration in all its dimensions. It would make an important contribution to global governance and enhance coordination on international migration. It would present a framework for comprehensive international cooperation on migrants and human mobility. See Annex II, A/71/L. 24
