camps between four hundred seven hundred thousand africans are thought to be trapped in libya it's not clear how the deal will be enforced but most of them are expected to be sent back to their home countries a plan was agreed at a joint african union summit in ivory coast's it was there for the theme of this summit was huge but there is no doubt the from the outset it was dominated by the issue of the refugee slave trade in libya and by migration we heard from the host of the summit the president of the ivory coast in the beginning who said that everyone had a collective responsibility to do something when at the end of the summit what leaders decided is that they would try and repatch reate those migrants and refugees that are trapped in libya that they'd also launched a task force to try and crack down on people smuggling and we spoke to many people here who said that that is just a case of firefighting and what is really needed is a long term strategy to deal with migration. african and european union leaders condemned the refugee slave trade in libya in their final statement they

well first of all libya has been suffering from several problems on top of. maybe the security vacuum that as a result from the political division and military conflicts in many areas all over the country and also the migration crisis that has been excessive beating during the last two years also the health sector is a disaster and. so many people here are prevented from using proper health facilities as you know. there's two camps in libya the political division is between two main camps the east of the camp which includes the. top of the parliament the operation dignity the military did operation a military campaign led by engaging the khalifa have good and eastern government on the one hand and on the other hand here in tripoli there you end back the government of national accord and high council now this political division has resulted in military conflict and yet there is a power vacuum because of this military conflict also the rise of extremist groups as you know the city of. camel was the main stronghold of ice and in north africa and also the health

with little respect for human life well the leaders here have committed to helping refugees in libya there were very few details as to exactly how and when they will repair trade them and they were also very frank about the new task force they say they'll put in place to combat people smuggling. that there was also no mention of the french president's remarks to reporters that military action against traffickers is a possibility the u.n. secretary general told summit leaders on wednesday that new ideas a needed to deal with migration including more legal ways to enter europe is that something that you discussed and something which you wouldn't visit each you have to. we have to stop. illegal migration this is our. obligation youth workers say until young people have real opportunities little change we want african leaders. say we are going to support. one. and here are the resources that we put in place a practical things to do. in the declaration that we're going to. be going to. this no doubt that ending the slave trade is an urgent priority but unless last thing solutions are foun

the crises we've seen in the mediterranean in the past few years starting through north africa and libya for example across it moves to italy it moves to greece it moves further into europe i mean that is almost i don't want to say that's been forgotten but such a huge problem which we have there has been overshadowed by other things like the ranger and syria. well if you've got two separate groups to think about if you've got those who are driven out by conflict and war the refugee populations and then you've got those who are leaving because of the vast lack of economic opportunity or advancing climate change and indeed growing populations to two forces at work and it's driving people really into very difficult and dangerous situations and the common thread across it all is that many people are being exploited they're being exploited in particular by the human traffickers and smugglers we've heard the reports recently of the slave markets in libya which is simply a symptom of the economic collapse there and the and the opportunities that are presented by migrants coming through so we'r

policy of containment shows little care for the consequences for those trapped in libya one example given is the funding by the e.u. of the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants that see these refugees have been sent to detention centers where they suffer abuse and exploitation we're talking at least twenty thousand of them crowded into these buildings and the report also says the e.u. is aware of alleged corruption within libya's coast guard and accuses of working with the human smugglers so let's talk to somebody else shares a secretary general from esteemed national joining us from london nice to have you with us these are very strong accusations to say there is complicity adds a whole new dimension to this it's not an accusation international's report is based on testimony after testimony interviews we've conducted with refugees and migrants you know over several months now and what we have in libya is really a whole you know. it's a lawless country to start with and if we do that migrants are treated like a commodity we heard about the slave auction just a week or two ago and here

these images park at outreach around the world african migrants at risk of being sold at auction in libya the accusation of modern day slavery triggered international concern and pledges to address the issue but in a report by the human rights group amnesty international european governments are accused of not only being aware of these abuses but also actively supporting libyan authorities in a stopping sea crossings and preventing the refugees and migrants from leaving what we have in libya is really a hellhole. for it's a lawless country to start with and refugees and migrants are treated like a commodity we heard about. slave auction just a week or two ago and here we are so essentially any migrant a refugee is pretty much criminalized italy has been singled out for criticism it's accused of leading e.u. efforts to fund libyan detention camps train libyan coast guard to intercept ships carrying a few g.'s and migrants as we'll as encouraging libyan tribes and armed groups to operate as border guards amnesty also from those prevented from leaving libya face arbitrary detention torture f

changed in the last few years you've got more non-state actors in conflict in places like syria and libya than you used to have when those places had more of a central government my question is what signing up more states then is that really the solution signing up more states or landmine treaties help if you've got more non-state actors who are not bound by those treaties. but signing up more states to the convention has an enormous impact. not only on the states themselves that sign and then giving up the weapons and destroying the stockpiles of landmines but also states which have not joined the treaty and we see basically compliance with the principles of the treaty across the board apart from those couple of states. in the last reporting period syria and which used mines not of the states even those outside the military used mines but also amongst non-state groups the stigma of using mines which in. civilians so significantly is growing so joint states joining the treaty is a significant move and we're very happy to hear just yesterday that sri lanka has joined the mine ban treaty ma

eight percent of the victims were civilians the rising casualties is blamed on fighting in afghanistan libya ukraine in the am and mine clearance work is increasing though two hundred thirty two thousand were destroyed in two thousand and sixteen they continued to be planted in defiance of the treaty ban signed by one hundred sixty three countries the weapons voluntary and group says government forces in miramar and syria used land mines in the past year. there on percy is the victim assistance coordinator from the land mine then class diminishing monitor he says despite the rise in deaths and injuries the truth is still working. and it's certainly the case that there are more casualties in these past two years of land my monitor recording two thousand and fifteen two thousand and sixteen clearly saw increases disturbing increases and tragic loss of life from land mines in those countries in conflict in the recording has improved though and what that means is that although these have been years with the highest numbers of recorded carriage these scenes early on in the mind since one thousand
