The United Nations Security Council couldn’t reach an agreement over the crisis of Tajoura detention center, where more than 40 migrants where killed.
The members were far from achieving a unified resolution that would condemn the strike and call for a cessation of conflict during its Wednesday session.
Since the start of the violence in Libya on April 4, the meetings have rolled on without achieving clear results, being not able to adapt a unified decision.
During the latest session, Britain called for a draft statement condemning the bombing of the migrants center and calling for a cessation of conflicts but the resolution was blocked by the United States.
For his part, Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres called on the United Nations and the Libyan National Army to open an investigation into the incident in cooperation with the General Command.
Moreover, U.N. envoy Ghassan Salame described the crisis as a war crime.
On July 2, two airstrikes hit the Tajoura detention centre on the eastern outskirts of Tripoli, with at least 53 refugees and migrants were killed and 130 injured. Also, credible reports indicated that six children were amongst those killed. The UN accused GNA guards of shooting at migrants after the airstrikes.
The crime of bombing a detention center in Tajoura was not the first of its kind as it was preceded by several crimes against civilians in Tripoli.
