67 Third: Litigation Department The Litigation Department acts, by force of law, on behalf of public legal persons (the State- government agencies – public institutions - public organs - public interests) regarding lawsuits filed by or actions brought against them. Public persons according to the Libyan Law are not immune against justice. Persons with vested interest may litigate to claim a right or to revoke a State procedure or to be compensated for injury inflicted as a corollary. It also acts on behalf of public companies which are owned either to the State or to any public legal person, provided that this should be agreed between the chairman of the Department and entities concerned. It has (10) branch offices all over the Jamhirya. It was organized by virtue of Law no 87/1971. Its functions are distributed among its members upon the decision of the chairman or the competent branch office, as appropriate. Fourth: People's Law Office People's Law is an unprecedented flagship idea in the area of legal defence without remuneration of citizens before courts in suits filed by and actions brought against them or in litigations in which they accused. This accounts for an underlying characteristic and advantage of the mass regime. This idea is considered one of the main guarantees for achieving justice. Justice cannot be established in the absence of a lawyer to defend the accused or claim the rights of people before courts. This idea moreover is closely related to human rights. The right of defence is a basic and crucial human right. The presence of an attorney on gratuitous basis by the side of the accused ensures and facilitates protection of human rights from this perspective.
