In Libya, the definition of "Western democracy" is laid bare for all to see. Western democracy is dilapidated infrastructure, destroyed homes, and displaced populations. It also leaves a vibrant slave trade in its wake after destroying the backbone of the state.

Libya has become a lawless state in which fragmented armed groups kill and torture with impunity, the U.N. human rights office (OHCHR) has said, seven years after a revolution toppled dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi.
In a report to the Human Rights Council, the OHCHR said Libyans and migrants are still being detained in appalling conditions and sold in “open slave markets.” With the country split between two rival governments, no authority is able to stop the rampant human rights abuses.
The open sale of human slaves—migrants, refugees and Libyans—shocked the world when it came to light in 2017. But without a capable government in the country, the practice has continued unabated while media interest ebbed.
