Human rights conditions in Libya remain precarious as serious abuses carried out by armed groups are rampant and impunity for past abuses continues. Sweeping restrictions against domestic and international civic groups in the country remain in place, effectively muzzling independent groups doing vital human rights and humanitarian work. The FFM’s investigative work has a key role to play in supporting pathways to accountability for past and ongoing violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in Libya.

The United Nations and International Intervention in Libya (London, C. Hurst & Co., 2022). Ian Martin (IM): I wanted to reassess the international intervention in Libya, to ask how it shaped Libya’s subsequent trajectory, and to explore what lessons there might be for international intervention more generally. What were the dynamics that brought about the resolutions of the UN Security Council, including the authorization of military action? My 2001 book, Self-Determination in East Timor: the United Nations, the Ballot and International Intervention, includes an analysis of another major international military intervention mandated by the UN Security Council. But the circumstances of Libya in 2011 suggest that what was needed was a complementarity of UN and AU efforts, with consistent support from all actors.

Beyond HCI, the next epoch of development will see the rise of brain computer interface (BCI) technologies where no gestures are required. NextMind’s latest innovations include a controller that can read brain signals, allowing enterprises to enable gestureless communication between users and their digital environments, machines, and even brain signals as a trigger for events. The BCI interface creates a direct line of communication between the brain and device. Invasive BCIs – In invasive BCI, electrodes are surgically implanted beneath the scalp to relay brain signals. Partially invasive BCIs – Partially invasive BCI devices are inserted into the skull but rest outside the grey matter, as opposed to within it.

WASHINGTON: Oil prices were steady to higher in Asia trade on Friday, lifted by supply concerns as attention turns to the next meeting between Opec and its allies, though fears of recession capped gains. “Oil prices have little chance of (posting) deep losses on the back of a weak US dollar and the ongoing supply crunch,” said CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng. Opec+ sources said the group will consider keeping oil output unchanged for September, but two Opec+ sources also told Reuters a modest increase would be discussed. A senior US administration official said on Thursday the government was optimistic about the Opec+ meeting, and said extra supply would help stabilise the market. “Opec production is constrained, though supplies are stabilising in Libya and Ecuador.

With the Ukraine-Russia war entering its fifth month – or at least five months since Putin announced his ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine – the war is increasingly reaching a difficult stalemate with little left to win or lose. “Currently, the Ukraine has western support and talks of mobilising up to a million new recruits in the field,” she said. Putin’s imperial project to wipe out Ukraine is unacceptable, but a unipolar world where the US imposes its hegemony is also unacceptable. “However, pursuant to the invasion, changes have occurred on the international level not seen since the end of the Cold War,” she pointed out. “I envisage that EU and NATO countries will have to increase their defence spending for many years to come.

Is arms trafficking from Libya to countries in the south on the rise again? Several drivers of insecurity in northern Niger facilitate the trafficking of Libyan arms. The violence prompted the population of the Agadez, Tahoua and Tillabéri regions to arm themselves in self-defence. Stocks gathered in south-western Libya are sold to civilians (for self-defence) and armed groups in Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. Niger’s responses to arms trafficking must be strengthened to address this risk.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council has voted to extend its political mission in Libya, but at Russia’s insistence for only three months rather than a year-long mandate. The council’s three African members abstained in Thursday’s vote to protest Russia’s blocking the longer extension they say is needed to help the divided country move to elections and stability. Russia’s deputy ambassador reiterated Moscow’s position that the U.N. mission must first get a new special representative before it has a longer mandate. American diplomat Stephanie Williams has been serving as a special adviser but she is leaving, so the U.N. mission will have no leader during Libya’s current political crisis.

United Nations, Jul 29 (AP) The UN Security Council voted Thursday to extend its political mission in Libya, but at Russia's insistence for only three months rather than a year-long mandate. Russia's deputy ambassador, Dmitry Poyansky, reiterated Moscow's position that the UN mission must get a new special representative before it has a longer mandate. UN special envoy Jan Kubis resigned last November 23 after 10 months on the job, and a number of candidates proposed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have been rejected either by council members, Libya or neighboring countries. After Kubis left, Guterres appointed veteran American diplomat Stephanie Williams, a former UN deputy special representative in Libya, as his special adviser. Oil-rich Libya has been wracked by conflict since a NATO-backed uprising toppled and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Is arms trafficking from Libya to countries in the south on the rise again? After the fall of Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, southward arms flows from Libya rose significantly. The violence prompted the population of the Agadez, Tahoua and Tillabéri regions to arm themselves in self-defence. Niger’s responses to arms trafficking must be strengthened to address this risk. However, a regional initiative would be better suited to preventing a southward resurgence of weapons flows if Libya’s conflict ends.
