A U.N team is due to arrive in Tripoli to investigate allegations of human rights violations in Libya since the start of the conflict in February. The team was appointed by the U.N Human Rights Council following the Libyan government's crackdown on protesters. The government has said it will co-operate with the inquiry. The three investigators say they will look at all alleged abuses including those the government says have been committed by rebels or NATO forces.The original mandate to examine human rights violations allegedly committed by the forces of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi remains the priority. There have been reliable reports of enforced disappearances, torture and even killing of protesters.
