reasons of feared persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or other circumstances that have
seriously disturbed public order and, as a result, require international protection as established
by the United Nations,

Contemplating how the arrival of large numbers of refugees, even on a temporary basis, can
cause serious amounts of strain of host countries host countries, especially in case of States
with economic difficulties, high unemployment, declining living standards, and shortages in
housing and land,

Alarmed by the devastation that the political deadlock, 2023 floods and multiple waves of
Covid-19 has caused in Libya with internal displacements, forcible transfers, repression of civic
groups, arbitrary detention, murder, rape, enslavement, extrajudicial killings and enforced
disappearances, as well as the economic set-back that lead to major problems of poverty,
increased crime rates, illegal black market trading, arms trafficking, unemployment, lack of
education and health resources as well as a loss of infrastructure,

Deeply concerned about the fact that libya is seen as one of the largest refugee crisis in the

from healthcare benefits, lack of documentation, scarcity of water and food supplies lead to
malnutrition and generally unhealthy living conditions related to poverty and the increased lack
of awareness among refugees,
