Pulbished on:

Tripoli, May 14, 2022 (LANA) - The foreign ministers of the G7 called for the complete resumption of oil production in Libya, and to refrain from using it as a tool for political confrontation.

In a statement issued at the conclusion of their meeting, today, Saturday, in the German city of Wangels, they called on the "Libyan stakeholders" to define a "rapid" legal framework for free, fair and inclusive presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible, urging all parties to stop violence and preserve the unity of Libya and its institutions. .

  The ministers expressed deep concern about the continued oil cuts, noting that these interruptions deprive Libyans of significant revenues, burden them with rising prices, and risk power outages, water supply problems, and fuel shortages.

The Ministers continued to emphasize the need to manage oil revenues transparently, while defining and implementing public expenditures through a clear budget process for the benefit of all the Libyan people, and preserving the unity, integrity, and non-political nature of the National Oil Corporation.

The G7 foreign ministers also called for the full implementation of the ceasefire signed on October 23, 2020, and freedom of movement for all Libyans.

The statement mentioned UN Security Council Resolution 2571 (2021) and its provisions, which indicate that individuals or entities that participate in or provide support for actions that threaten peace, stability or security in Libya, threaten to impose sanctions on anyone who violates the resolution.

The statement called for compliance with the arms embargo and the complete withdrawal from Libya without delay for all foreign forces and mercenaries, as stipulated in Security Council Resolutions 2570 (2021) and 2571 (2021).

The G7 expressed its support for the continuation of the European IRINI operation, to ensure the effective implementation of the United Nations arms embargo on Libya.

The Group reiterated its support for the mediation efforts and endeavors of the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stephanie Williams, and expressed their encouragement to all international partners and Libyan stakeholders to cooperate fully.

The ministers of the group - currently chaired by Germany - expressed concern about reprisals against women in public and political roles, calling on the Libyan authorities to ensure the provision of basic services to the Libyan people, protect civil society from persecution, defend the right to civil dialogue, respect human rights, and strengthen accountability for Violations and abuses of human rights, and ensuring the protection of refugees and migrants.
