This practical guide provides clear and accessible information for families of missing persons in Libya. It outlines the rights of family members under international and national law, explains available avenues for seeking support when those rights are not upheld, and identifies relevant national and international mechanisms that may provide assistance.

The guide also highlights how families can engage constructively with authorities and institutions to help advance efforts toward truth, accountability, and the search for missing persons.

This guide was developed under the Missing Persons Project, jointly implemented by UNDP and UNSMIL to support national efforts to address the issue of missing persons in Libya.
