83 International Human Rights Treaties and Instruments Based on its irrevocable faith in the sacredness of human rights and basic freedoms, the Jamhirya has ratified international conventions on human rights in their different domains. The Libyan legal system is chiefly built around the domestication of international or regional covenants and instruments ratified by the basic people's congresses or to which the Jamhirya accedes, once they are published in the official gazette and thus should be respected. The national judge also is committed to their application as part of the national legislation (Article 1 of the Libyan Civil Law). This indicates that the mere ratification of the subject convention or covenant necessitates its regard as internal legal rules that courts are obliged to apply to disputes under examination. Moreover, each person with vested interest may seek effectuation of its provisions before the national judge to exclude national legal provisions that may be in contravention with it. This goes for the African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights to which the Great Jamhirya had been a party since 1986, as well as the Protocol establishing the African Court for Human and Peoples' Rights ratified by the Jamhirya in 2003. Given the critical importance of judicial cooperation in protecting human and peoples' rights, the Great Jamhirya has concluded a host of judicial cooperation agreements with the other states to facilitate execution of judicial writs and rulings whether issued by Libyan Courts or by courts in other states party to these agreements. Human Rights Organizations: In the Jamhirya, there are organizations concerned with human rights and interested in protecting, monitoring and tracking related violations and attempting their redress. These organizations are set within their realm of competence to energize nationally, regionally and internationally-agreed human rights. These organizations are represented in the following:
