Asweiti links recruitment reform to enforcing the law
LIBYA – Political analyst Ibrahim Asweiti has described the House of Representatives’ move to address the recruitment of minors under the age of 18 as a positive step that could help regulate recruitment, strengthen discipline and build professional military and security institutions free of abuses.
Legislation alone is not enough
In exclusive remarks to Erem News, Asweiti said the test of the step’s success lies in parliament’s ability to make all parties apply the law, arguing that Libya has plenty of legislation and penalties but that the problem, as he put it, lies in weak enforcement.
