A UN team is due to arrive in Tripoli to investigate allegations of human rights violations in Libya.
The team was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council following the Libyan government’s crackdown on protesters, informs BBC World News Wednesday.
The government has said it will co-operate with the inquiry.
The three investigators say they will look at all alleged abuses, including those the government says have been committed by rebels or Nato forces.
There have been reliable reports of enforced disappearances, torture and even killing of protesters, says our correspondent.
The UN human rights commissioner, Navi Pillay, said in late February that what was happening in Libya “may amount to crimes against humanity”.
