Libya A Hub of Human Smugglers and Traffickers

In a world that boasts triumphs of virtual communication, space travel and now, more importantly, the most geographically expansive civil rights movements in history, the plight of modern day slaves is not a blight but an embarrassment. Zaid M. Belbagi. This paper focuses upon the barbaric social, economic and political conditions within Libya exposing the refugees and migrants to human rights violations. Slave Trade is flourishing in Libya since time immemorial. With Gaddafis departure, control of Libya has fallen into the hands of human traffickers and smugglers who continued his legacy of miseries. Reported Interviews and incidents faced by detainees in the camps asylums are used as prima facie evidence of the cruelty and beastality against mankind. Meanwhile, lack of strict actions and instability on part of internal and external authorities are serving the un ending distress of captives. It also covers the channel of Organ smuggling and trafficking consequently treasuring traffickers and human rights violators. Alongside, extensive roles played by Media channels as undercover investigators and International Organisations curbing out the humanitarian crisis instead exacerbating the rampant slave trade, are covered. This paper concludes with affirmative suggestions which can eradicate slavery and other human rights violations from Libya freeing it from dire straits.
