| Overview of position | While missing persons are a national issue, affecting a cross section of society, a clear legal framework to address this file is still lacking in Libya. There is no comprehensive law on missing persons, in line with international standards, and based on wide consultations with civil society groups and victims. National privacy laws or laws on access to information are also lacking, in the absence of a permanent Constitution, while arbitrary arrest and detention remain rampant. The lack of a clear cooperation framework between relevant entities in charge of forensics and investigations on enforced disappearances further impedes families in their efforts to know the fate of their loved ones.
The effects of this lack of cooperation and coordination are visible in current challenges in the collection, protection, and preservation of evidence on cases of enforced disappearance and missing persons, which have also affected the ability of judicial authorities to effectively investigate and prosecute these cases.
As part of its project ‘Addressing the File of Missing Persons in Libya’, implemented by Our client and UNSMIL, a legal assessment will be conducted revising existing laws, decrees of the legal framework related to this issue. To this end, the Project Team will recruit an International Technical Expert (Contactor in these TOR) to examine the mandate of various existing bodies and institutions, highlighting legal gaps and overlaps, and provide recommendations on ways to improve these. This will include, inter alia, reviewing and assessing the legal framework around privacy, access and protection of information, missing persons, martyrs, and reparations, as well as the respective mandates of the different authorities in charge of forensics analysis.
