2026
“Since its formal establishment in 2014, DCIM has operated as a department under the MOI, with its own budget and administration structure. However, on 13 May 2025, the Prime Minister issued Decision 227/2025, dissolving the DCIM and establishing the General Administration for Combating Irregular Migration under the MOI, transferring all DCIM assets and personnel to the new body. This change in name did not address the underlying structural problems, and no tangible reforms have been implemented as at the time of writing this report. Tajoura and other detention centres in eastern Libya, for example, continued to operate with the same staff previously implicated in serious human rights violations and abuses.”
