LIBYA: EVIDENCE OF NEW LANDMINE USE IN TRIPOLI

(Tripoli, November 5, 2014) – Credible evidence has emerged showing that one or more militia groups have used antipersonnel landmines during the armed conflict involving a Zintan alliance and the Libya Dawn alliance at Tripoli Airport in July and August 2014, Human Rights Watch said today.
Human Rights Watch was unable to determine which groups were responsible for laying the mines and urged Libya Dawn, which now controls Tripoli Airport, to destroy remaining stockpiles and ensure mine clearance according to international standards.
