"Three years after the revolution that toppled Qaddafi's repressive regime, Libya continues to struggle to reassert the rule of law. Violence is on the rise and political groups increasingly turn to the power of the gun to make changes, stalling the security and justice systems from reforming. Security providers grow more numerous, overlap, and compete, feeding feelings of insecurity among the population. Both state and nonstate dispute resolution fail to meet the needs of Libyans, and thus self-help and vigilante justice are on the rise. Many Libyans see no end in sight. This report tracks security and justice from its existence before the 2011 revolution, the transition during the revolution and postrevolution period, and the realities of security and justice provision today and its impact on ordinary Libyans"--Publisher description.
