The S&D Group and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung are organising a public seminar on Libya: The Way forward - Exploring paths towards democracy and human rights on Thursday, 2 June 2022 from 15.00 to 19.00 in the European Parliament in Brussels.

The full programme is available below

The seminar aims to provide Libyan and international stakeholders, including UN and EU actors, as well as NGOs, with a platform for open dialogue and exchange on the current political developments, ongoing peace process and human rights situation, including the condition of migrants and displaced persons.

Amidst the volatile political situation in the country, this seminar will also provide the opportunity to discuss the way forward for Libya by building on the experience of local civil society actors.

The seminar will have three panels: 

  • The political situation in Libya and the UN process;
  • The Human Rights situation: violations and internally displaced persons;
  • The situation of migrants and detention centres.

At 18.00, there will be a screening of the documentary Libya: no escape from Hell’, by Sara Creta, an Italian journalist and film director, on the situation of migrants and refugees in Libyan detention camps.

A cocktail reception will be held at the end of the event.

Translation will be provided in: EN/FR/IT/ES/PT & Arabic

The event will also be livestreamed on https://www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/
