The Committee on Freedoms and Human Rights of the High Council of State met today, Wednesday, with the head and members of the Civil Society Commission affiliated with the Presidential Council, at the council’s headquarters in the capital, Tripoli.
The meeting discussed the difficulties facing the commission’s work, foremost among them the absence of a legal framework regulating the work of civil society organizations, and the need to prepare regulatory bylaws to govern their mechanisms within a clear legal system. This includes organizing their relations at both domestic and international levels, and enhancing oversight mechanisms for their activities to serve the national interest and limit any negative interventions.
It was also agreed to continue coordination through holding subsequent meetings and gatherings, and organizing seminars and workshops in the field of human rights, with an emphasis on readiness for joint work to serve the public interest.
