The Commission concluded that Qadhafi forces committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in Libya, including murder, enforced disappearance, and torture, which were perpetrated in the context of a widespread or systematic attack against the civilian population. In addition, the Commission found that Qadhafi forces committed unlawful killing, individual acts of torture and ill-treatment, attacks on civilians, and rape.
With respect to anti-Qadhafi forces, the Commission concluded that they also committed serious violations, including war crimes and breaches of international human rights law, "the latter continuing at the time of the present report." According to the Commission, these violations include unlawful killing, arbitrary arrest, torture, enforced disappearance, indiscriminate attacks, and pillage.
Finally, with respect to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO"), the Commission concluded that NATO "conducted a highly precise campaign with a demonstrable determination to avoid civilian casualties." However, "on limited occasions, the Commission confirmed civilian casualties and found targets that showed no evidence of military utility." Since the Commission could not draw conclusions on the basis of information provided by the NATO, the Commission "recommended further investigations."
The Commission concluded its report by expressing concern regarding the failure to hold accountable those who committed and continue to commit serious violations in Libya.
