In a report submitted to the UN Security Council on ‘conflict-related sexual violence’, Guterres reiterated his call to the relevant Libyan authorities to adopt legislation to combat human trafficking in order to strengthen the rule of law in all legal institutions, ensuring that allegations of violence are effectively investigated and perpetrators prosecuted accordingly.
