Content_paragraphs:  I am gravely concerned about the continued arbitrary detention of migrants and
  
  refugees at formal detention centres and informal smuggler sites, and the poor
  
  conditions and treatment to which they are subjected at those sites. There is a clear
  
  and urgent need to put in place measures to protect detainees from sexual violence,
  
  provide assistance to victims, and ensure that allegations of sexual violence are
  
  effectively investigated and prosecuted. The Libyan authorities should also secure the
  
  release of refugees and migrants from detention centres as a matter of urgency,
  
  provide them with safe shelter and a humane living environment, and ensure that they
  
  are included in the country’s COVID-19 planning and response. Moreover, Member
  
  States should revisit policies that support the interception at sea and return of refugees
  
  and migrants to Libya, which is not considered to be a safe port of disembarkation. I
  
  call on international partners to continue their support and to contribute generously
  
  to the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan.
