Tripoli, 1 August \u2013 As the BBC highlights the human cost of Europe\u2019s migration policies, the INGO Forum, representing the 16 INGOs providing assistance in Libya, call for EU leaders to stop enabling the system of arbitrary detention and ensure the protection of the thousands of refugees and migrants trapped in the war-torn country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent airstrikes on Tajoura detention centre, and several attacks on other centers, demonstrate once again the immense danger that refugees and migrants trapped in Libya face. The country is not a safe place of return,\u201d said Theophile Renard, the Libya INGO Forum Coordinator.<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 3,000 people are confined in detention centres in close proximity to the violence and where gross human rights violations have been repeatedly reported, and trafficking operations enabled to expand.<\/p>\n

The ongoing transfer of refugees and migrants to detention centres which have been bombed or suspended due to the deteriorating conditions is alarming.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetention centres must be closed, and the people held offered safe and legal alternatives<\/strong>. Those most at risk must be urgently evacuated by the UN to safe countries. For this to happen resettlement quotas in Europe must be increased. In the meantime, people must be released and the humanitarian community should be enabled to provide meaningful assistance and protection\u201d says Samia Shehab,\u00a0 INTERSOS Programme Coordinator in Libya.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Europe and the United Nations have avoided their commitment to enable the necessary mechanisms to upscale resettlements and evacuations in accordance with humanitarian and legal standards, despite growing international concern over the continued use of arbitrary detention<\/strong>. For over a year, the global media has shown images of ongoing rioting of those trapped in inhumane conditions, who demand for UNHCR and IOM, the UN agencies mandated to provide protection to refugees and migrants. The UN must step up and provide full protection to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU claims to have solved the so-called migration crisis by \u201cprotecting and saving lives\u201d in Libya, but evidence presented by the BBC shows that migration policies have prioritized border management above lives<\/strong>. The proposed solutions for those in detention – to be released in Libya where they are at risk to be detained again or caught up in an escalating conflict, or to be returned to the countries they fled in search of safety \u2013 contradicts international standards\u201d. Fernanda Velasco, the Libya INGO Forum Advocacy Coordinator remarked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the deteriorating security situation in the country, the number of interceptions by the EU-funded Libyan Coast Guard more than doubled since the start of the conflict in April. The Tragic shipwreck on 25 July where over 100 refugees and migrants lost their lives and dozens of survivors were brought back to Libya, only to be placed in detention, is a stark reminder of the human cost of these policies. The EU and all UN actors must instead suspend all support to the Libyan authorities which enable the interception and return of refugees and migrants to Libya.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Created in 2016, the Libya INGO Forum is an independent network of 16 international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) implementing humanitarian programs to respond to the needs of vulnerable population living in Libya.
