Condemns slave auctions of migrants and refugees in Libya.

Calls on the government of Libya to:

• investigate the existence of slave auctions and forced labor involving migrants and refugees;
• hold smugglers, traffickers, detention center guards, and anyone else involved accountable;
• manage migration flows in a humane manner;
• end the violent and inhumane conditions of official migrant detention centers; and
• register asylum seekers swiftly and process their refugee claims fairly.

Calls on the United Nations (U.N.) to investigate allegations of forced labor in Libya, encourage Libya to allow the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights to regularly monitor and publicly report on the situation of refugees and migrants in Libya, and impose sanctions against Libya if the country fails to end forced labor.

Calls on the African Union to conduct its own investigation, work to assist migrants in Libya who wish to return home, and impose sanctions against Libya if the forced labor does not end.

Calls on the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to use funds appropriated for: (1) humanitarian assistance for migrants and refugees in detention centers in Libya, and (2) the development of a holistic strategy for Libya to address the political and security situation that includes issues related to migrants and refugees in detention centers.

Calls on the President to ensure that the State Department and the USAID are adequately staffed.
