Introduction to the research:
Human rights in history are values and ethics deeply rooted in the human conscience, those that unite us despite our different colors, religions and races. They are human rights, the human being for whom the messengers were sent and the books were revealed and through whom the universe was built. That human being lived in our country for decades suffering injustice, oppression, torture, dictatorship and tyranny, until the day came when he rose up, shaking off the dust of the years. Human rights are the rights and freedoms that every person deserves simply because he is Human. The concept of human rights is based on the recognition of all members of the human family of their inherent value and dignity, as they deserve to enjoy certain basic freedoms.
By recognizing these freedoms, a person can enjoy security and safety, and become able to make decisions that regulate his life.
We, at Rasid International Network for Human Rights, have taken it upon ourselves to introduce societies and individuals to their sacred human right and urge them not to give up this right under any title. This right is urged by all laws of the earth and heaven throughout the ages.
Today, we live in the Middle East in a political, social and cultural environment that considers that human rights are not among the priorities of the Arab people, as a result of the colonization and occupations that these peoples were exposed to since the rise of the Ottoman Empire until the First and Second World Wars, and what resulted from them in terms of the destruction of the countries of the region and the extermination of its intellectuals and the productive class of this people who were burned in the furnace of wars and famines.
After the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the subsequent division of the Arab countries and the Balfour Declaration, our Arab people are still suffering from the repercussions of what happened to this day, until an elite group of intellectuals and aspirants rose up to elevate the status of the Arab people and rescue them from the mire of dependence and slavery to the colonizer and occupier. Many parties, civil society organizations and international organizations emerged to take upon themselves the liberation of the human being, inform them of their rights, help them get rid of fear and motivate them to raise their voices loudly demanding their rights and the rights of their families and children.
It was necessary for the Rasid International Network for Human Rights to take the initiative to do what it considers its first duty towards our peoples who are still suffering from oppression and confiscation of the decision, as is happening now in some countries of the region such as Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq and Syria, in addition to what is happening in the countries of the Maghreb and North Africa.
This research in your hands is nothing but a modest and simple work that I present to you, hoping that through it I can shed light on human rights violations in Libya as a model.
I hope that I have provided something through our network, which we are proud to join and work to implement its lofty goals and concepts.
Thank you and see you in another report that also sheds light on another issue, so that I have raised the voice that should be loud continuously.
