The Libya Crimes Watch Organization relies in its work on field investigative research carried out by a monitoring team in the organization in various Libyan regions. This research is based on investigating the facts of human rights violations, to obtain accurate information about the facts, their circumstances, the identity of the victims and the violating parties. It also documents testimonies, evidence, presumptions, records and related documents for examination and verification. The organization called on the Government of National Unity and the authorities in eastern Libya to end all Human Rights Violations, including kidnappings and enforced disappearances.[3]
The Libya Crimes Watch Organization called on Haftar's forces to stop targeting residential communities, to spare civilians the armed conflict, and to abide by international humanitarian law "the rules of war", and held them legally and morally responsible for these grave Human Rights Violations. It called on the UN Security Council and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to assume their responsibilities to protect civilians in Libya, and to send a fact-finding committee to investigate war crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.[4]
The Libya Crimes Watch Organization monitors the human rights situation in Libya, and interacts with violations daily by publishing on its Facebook and Twitter platforms, as well as publishing data on the website and monthly reports summarizing the human rights violations that have been monitored and documented throughout Libya.[5] The organization also participates in signing the Joint statements with international and local organizations with common competencies.[6] The organization works effectively within the Libyan platform, and is a founding member of the Libyan Anti-Torture Network and a member of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court. It is also a member of the KeepItOn coalition against the internet shutdown.[7]
