  • Libya - United States Department of State
    Libya - United States Department of State https://www.state.gov/reports/2020-trafficking-in-persons-report/libya/ Libya is a Special Case for the fifth consecutive year. The Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) struggled to govern large swaths of Libyan territory, as it did not exercise control in several parts of the country. The judicial system was not fully functioning, as courts in major cities throughout the country have not been operational since 2014. Violence heightened during the reporting period, as conflict escalated between the Tripoli-based GNA and the self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), which has sought to establish a rival government in eastern Libya and initiated an offensive to seize the capital in April 2019. The conflict was further enabled by financial or military contributions from regional states, with Turkey supporting the GNA and Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt supporting the LNA. Since April 2019, the LNA’s sustained offensive on Tripoli resulted in at least 356 civilian deaths and 329 civilian injuries and approximately 150,000 persons newly displaced from Tripoli. Extra-legal armed groups continued to fill a security vacuum across the country; such groups varied widely in their make-up and the extent to which they were under the direction of state authorities. These disparate groups committed various human rights abuses, including unlawful killings. Impunity for those committing abuses against civilians was a pervasive problem. During the reporting period, there were continued reports that criminal networks, militia groups, government officials, and private employers exploited migrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers in sex and labor trafficking.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02577-6 - Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam Chouki El Hamel Excerpt More information Introduction In the summer of 1994, when I was in Nouakchott, Mauritania, research- ing my first book on the spread of Islamic scholarship in the western Sahel (the area of Mauritania and northern Mali),1 I met a local Arab scholar at the archives who graciously invited me to his home. He wanted to share some primary source documents in exchange for some books I had brought with me. As I enjoyed his hospitality, sipping mint tea, a little girl of dark complexion appeared at the door. I called for her to come in, but she did not move or speak. I again called to her and asked, “I have a cam- era. Do you want to take a picture?” Still she did not react. The scholar’s wife then entered the room and said: “Don’t bother with her; she is just a slave [‘abda].” After a while, she added that I should buy one and take her with me to Morocco in order to assist my mother in her household chores. I was taken off guard. I had naively believed that Africa was cur- rently free of these cruel practices, yet this little girl was living proof that slavery still existed. I wanted to do something but felt powerless. I was enraged and left hastily. While still in Mauritania, I inquired about the issue of slavery, but as it was a politically sensitive issue in Nouakchott, people were apprehensive and avoided talking about it.

HALL he history of slavery and the experiences of enslavement in the interior of West Africa are poorly understood in comparison with those in other regions of the T Atlantic world. This is in large part due to the limited availability of internal source material. Within Muslim societies in West Africa, however, there are extant written sources in Arabic that address slavery and that date back to the end of the fifteenth century. Slave labor and the trade in slaves within and across the Sahara desert, and along trade routes that crossed West Africa more broadly, were important for the economies and societies of Muslims throughout the subregion. Slave dealers sometimes recorded their transactions in writing, drafting contracts and expediting commercial correspon dence. Moreover, transactions involving slavery consistently appear in Muslim jurispru dential writings produced by West African scholars. Thankfully, a considerable number of literate Muslim families have preserved these written sources in private collections. Historians with the access and skills to decipher these documents can glean a great deal of information about the practice of slavery in Muslim slave-owning societies in Western Africa, including insights into the lives and predicaments of enslaved people themselves.

  • How to Address the Persistent Decline of Tolerance Towards Communities Of
    Ferney-Voltaire Model United Nations 2021 ​ ​ How to address the persistent decline of tolerance towards communities of color ? COMMITTEE : Human Rights Council ​ ISSUE : How to address the persistent decline of tolerance towards communities of color ? ​ CHAIRS : AL-FALLOUJI Danny, DONGUI Espérance ​ How to address the persistent decline of tolerance towards communities of colour ? INTRODUCTION The Human Rights Council (HRC) is one of the many United Nations bodies. It has the responsibility to strengthen and promote the protection of human rights around the world, to address human rights violations, such as intolerance, and to make recommendations on them. On the 19th of December 2017, the General Assembly, in its 72/157 Resolution stated that it is “alarmed at the spread in many parts of the world of various racist extremist movements based on ideologies that seek to promote populist, nationalist, right-wing agendas and racial superiority, and stress[es] that these practices fuel racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”. A poll conducted by the university of Harvard shows in the US, that nearly 1 in 5 Latinos have avoided medical care due to concern of being discriminated against or treated poorly. Statistics like this one illustrate the HRC’s concern and act as a morbid reminder ​ ​ of the jarring reality that racial minorities face and impel the world to confront the ongoing issue of the lack of tolerance towards communities of color. Racially related crimes contradict the values of our current world: A world where peace orientated institutions prevail, a world where texts, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaiming equality and freedom of each individual, have been adopted by most countries and are embedded in contemporary democracy.

  • The Return of Slavery in Libya
    The return of slavery in Libya by Clara Didier, Fatou Diouf & Jessie Lee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ translated by Clémentine Gallot & Jessie Lee published by Generation for Rights Over the World ​ January 2021 [email protected] Abstract Today Libya is, alas, still a breeding ground for slavery. The migration crisis has multiplied opportunities for smugglers to reduce many migrants to the “status” of slaves. They are often kidnapped, physically abused by long working hours, but also sexually abused by traffickers of women and children. Unfortunately, this harsh reality has only gotten worse with the health crisis that the world has been experiencing for almost a year now. The return of slavery in Libya GROW - Generation for Rights Over the World 1/9 Libya, a transit zone for migrants and traffickers Slavery in Libya will never be a distant memory. Since 2011, with the collapse of the Libyan regime resulting from the death of its leader Muammar Gaddafi, the country has never ceased to sink into a pit of problems, with the migration crisis playing a role in this collapse. It is important to bear in mind that crossing the Mediterranean Sea in a makeshift boat is a dangerous and even deadly journey. Migrants risk everything in the hope of a better life. Some are fleeing civil war in a country controlled by different militias, others are fleeing religious persecution or even poverty. The journey is already perilous, but they are also the prey of armed groups and networks of smugglers. Indeed, a very high proportion of migrants are used as day labourers in the construction and agricultural sectors.

  • Eliminating Slave Trade of Immigrants and Refugees in Libya Student Officer: Stavroula Adamaki Position: Co-Chair
    Committee: Social Humanitarian and Cultural Committee Issue: Eliminating slave trade of immigrants and refugees in Libya Student Officer: Stavroula Adamaki Position: Co-Chair Introduction The slave trade in Libya is a very crucial and at the same time complex issue, which affects thousands of immigrants and refugees who try to reach Europe. The issue was brought into light when CNN published an exclusive report including recorded footage of men auctioned for as little as $400 each in November 2017, indicating how migrants are being sold by smugglers there. Apart from the inhuman living conditions characterizing detention centers in Libya, refugees and immigrants trapped there are highly susceptible to human trafficking, since many smugglers send them across the Mediterranean and sell them to buyers that use them as manual labor. As you can imagine, the standards of labor conditions are very low, their basic human rights are violated and their health is threatened as well. The key geographical position of Libya, which can be clearly seen in figure 3, has made this country the main transit point for refugees and migrants trying to reach Europe by sea, with more than 150,000 having crossed Libya in 2015-2017 and more than 3000 having died according to the International Organization for Immigration (IOM). In addition to the abundance of vulnerable migrants, the political and socioeconomic instability in the country contributes largely to the slave trade taking place with a failed government incapable of solving the issue. Taking into account the high numbers of refugees getting involved in slave trade, the impact it will have in their lives as well as the insufficient current efforts towards combatting the problem, it is vital that the international community finds ways to support refugees in Libya and ensure the interruption of Figure 1: Slave trade in Libya slave trade.1 1 Figure 1: Quackenbush, Casey.
