Ambassador Taher Al-Sunni informs the head of the sanctions committee, Libya's categorical rejection of the attempts of some countries to seize the frozen Libyan assets.

Tripoli January 24, 2021 (LANA) - The representative of Libya to the United Nations, Ambassador Taher Al-Sunni, informed the Chairman of the Security Council Committee on Libya and a non-permanent member of the Security Council, Indian Ambassador T. Terumurti, Libya's categorical rejection of some countries' attempts to place their hand on the frozen Libyan funds, stressing The government will not allow this, whatever the arguments and reasons, in reference to what is being circulated recently about the attempt of some Belgian institutions to do so, for example.

This came during a recent meeting in New York, which focused on discussing and reviewing the latest political developments of the Libyan file and an evaluation of the work of the sanctions committee and the United Nations expert group.

    Ambassador Taher Al-Sunni briefed the Indian ambassador on the violations of UN resolutions that occurred in recent years, and the need to establish the principle of transparency and accountability towards all those responsible for these violations committed against the Libyans, whether they are individuals or countries.

The meeting touched on the issue of frozen Libyan assets and funds, and the importance of taking effective and quick steps to allow the Libyan Investment Corporation to manage it to avoid the large material losses that occurred years ago, at a time when some countries and financial institutions are trying to keep the situation as it is and benefit from it.

  In turn, Ambassador Terumorti affirmed his understanding of Libya's position in this regard and his assertion that, according to UN decisions, no country has the right to dispose of frozen funds without referring to the Sanctions Committee and the Libyan government.
