Human Rights Violations in Libya and EU-Accountability (English) DESCRIPTION:For many years\, ECCHR has been concerned with the situation of migrants and refugees in Libya\, where they are essentially exploited and treated as “commodities”. This includes various crimes against humani ty: imprisonment\, enslavement\, murder\, torture\, rape\, sexual slavery\ , enforced prostitution\, persecution\, and other inhumane acts. Sometimes migrants and refugees\, including children\, are also forced to participa te directly or indirectly in the ongoing armed conflict. All of this has b een well documented by survivors and NGOs like “Refugees in Libya”. Ne vertheless EU actors continue to cooperate with the Libyan authorities\, p roviding them with funding\, patrol boats\, equipment\, and training. Memb er States and EU agencies\, such as FRONTEX\, also collaborate with the Li byan coastguard to locate and intercept boats in distress at sea and retur n them to Libya.\n\nIn 2022 ECCHR submitted a communication to the ICC und er Article 15 of the Rome Statute\, actively urging the OTP to initiate an investigation into the international crimes committed against migrants an d refugees in Libya. It explicitly mentions high level European politician s such as the former Italian Interior Ministers\, Marco Minniti and Matteo Salvini\, the current and former Prime Ministers of Malta Robert Abela an d Joseph Muscat\, the former High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy\, Federica Mogherini\, the former Executive Di rector of Frontex\, Fabrice Leggeri as well as Italian and Maltese Rescue Coordination Centers members and EUNAV FOR MED and the European External A ction Service (EEAS) officials as alleged co-perpetrates. Additionally to the ICC communication the project-team is engaging with national prosecuto rs in Europe to open investigations and initiate legal action against indi viduals suspected of committing these crimes.\n\nThose whose policies fina nce and facilitate the crimes and atrocities against migrants and refugees in Libya need to be held accountable. Especially since European states ar e increasingly relying on border externalization policies and practices\, a concept that is also reflected in the current drafts for the Common Euro pean Asylum System (CEAS).\n\n \;\n\n****The talk will be held in Engl ish\, questions can be asked in German as well****\n\nOnline participation is possible via this link\n\nhttps://www.urz.uni-leipzig.de/streams/lives tream-hoersaal-4\n\n \;\n\nDer Vortrag ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreih e\n\nBORDER STRUGGLE\n\ndie vom 15.04.-01.07. stattfindet.\nWer gibt Grenz en eigentlich das Recht zu existieren? Und was hat es für Konsequenzen\, dass es sie gibt? Ab dem 15. April immer montags um 19 Uhr wollen wir dies e Fragen zum Thema machen\, mit Filmvorführungen und interdisziplinären Vorträgen von Akademiker*innen &\; Aktivist*innen. Die EU-Außengrenze n manifestieren sich nicht nur in den Lagern auf Lesbos oder im Mittelmeer \, sie wirken auch weit darüber hinaus\, bis nach Libyen und Niger. Inner halb der EU sind Grenzen ebenso spürbar: An den Ländergrenzen\, wie etwa zwischen Frankreich und Italien\, und bis nach Sachsen und Leipzig hinein \, in den Camps und Behörden. Über diese Wirkung von Grenzen wollen wir sprechen. „Border Struggle“ soll dabei aber nicht nur Probleme aufzeig en\, sondern auch die Menschen zu Wort kommen lassen\, die sich gegen die Auswirkungen von Grenzen organisieren – egal ob in Leipzig\, Ventimiglia oder Agadez. \n\nWeitere Informationen &\; Termine\nhttps://kjleipzig .noblogs.org/events/category/border-struggle/\n\n \;\n\nhttps://kjleip zig.noblogs.org/events/category/border-struggle/\n\nhttps://www.planlos-le ipzig.org/events/no-way-out-human-rights-violations-in-libya-and-eu-accoun tability-english/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.planlos-leipzig.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2024/04/signal-2024-04-14-141113_007.jpeg CATEGORIES:Vortrag LOCATION:Hörsaal 4\, Augustuspl. 10\, 04109 Leipzig X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Augustuspl. 10\, 04109 Leip zig\, Deutschland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Hörsaal 4:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Berlin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Berlin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
