TRIPOLI, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- The UN special envoy to Libya said on Monday that the UN won't turn a blind eye to the fighting and lawlessness in Libya.

In a message on the occasion of Human Rights Day, Ghassan Salame, also the head of the UN Support Mission in Libya, said democratic transition, justice, freedom and rule of law remain unrealized in Libya.

"We cannot stand idle while civilians continue to bear the brunt of the fighting and lawlessness in Libya," Salame said.

"Executions, abductions, unlawful detention and torture have become part of everyday life," he added.

Since the 2011 uprising that toppled former leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime, Libya has been plagued with escalating violence and unrest, as well as chaos and political division. Enditem
