Strengthening Libyan Justice Sector Capacity to Apply International Human Rights and Due Process Standards

Since 2017, with the support of the U.S. Department of State, ABA ROLI continues to strengthen the capacity of the judiciary, prosecutors, public lawyers, and other lawyers throughout Libya to apply international human rights law and best practices focused on fair trial standards, pre-trial detention, and criminal defense.

Supporting Libya’s Transition

In 2020, ABA ROLI began implementing a program, with support from USAID, centered on countering corrosive influences, specifically hate speech and disinformation (HSD), in Libya’s political transition.

Delivering Justice to GBV Survivors

In September 2020, ABA ROLI launched a program to promote justice for gender-based violence (GBV) survivors in Libya, funded by the U.S. Department of State. In collaboration with Libyan civil society and institutional partners—specifically, the LBA, the YLA, and the MOJ— ABA ROLI efforts focus on GBV awareness-raising, helping GBV survivors better understand their legal rights, and enhancing their access to victim-centered legal counseling.
