UN Human Rights Chief calls for accountability over detention centers run by Libya's Stability Support Apparatus
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has expressed shock over grave human rights violations uncovered at both official and unofficial detention facilities operated by the Stability Support Apparatus (SSA) in Tripoli. In a statement published by the UN Mission in Libya, Türk called for the immediate closure of these facilities and urged Libyan authorities to launch prompt, independent, impartial, and transparent investigations. "Our worst fears are now being confirmed," Türk said. "Dozens of bodies have been discovered at these sites, alongside tools suspected of being used for torture and abuse, and potential evidence of extrajudicial killings." The High Commissioner also voiced distress over disturbing images and videos of these facilities circulating on social media, emphasizing the need to respect the dignity and privacy of the victims and the rights of their families. He urged Libyan authorities to grant the United Nations access to the sites as part of its mandate to document human rights violations. Türk further expressed concern over reports that Libya's criminal investigation authorities, responsible for exhuming and identifying human remains, have not yet been granted access to excavate the sites. He called on authorities to provide full and unhindered access to all locations. In May, forces affiliated with the 444 Brigade and the 111 Brigade stormed and took control of several SSA-run facilities following the killing of SSA chief Abdelghani Al-Kikli, known as "Ghneiwa."

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has reiterated its firm support for Libya's sovereignty and the pursuit of a Libyan-led political resolution, urging all foreign forces and mercenaries to withdraw immediately from the country. In its closing statement following the 164th ministerial session, the GCC stressed the importance of upholding relevant UN Security Council resolutions and ending external interference in Libya's internal affairs. The council called on all Libyan factions to prioritise dialogue and national unity, describing political negotiation as the only viable route to resolving ongoing divisions. It emphasised the need to safeguard Libya's interests and meet the aspirations of its citizens for stability and development. The GCC reiterated its backing for the United Nations' efforts to secure a comprehensive political settlement, including the organisation of presidential and parliamentary elections and the unification of state institutions.
