Tripoli, August 29, 2024 (LANA) - The UN Security Council called on Thursday on all Libyan leaders, political, economic and security institutions to "de-escalate tensions, refrain from the use or threat of force or any economic measures aimed at exerting pressure" and reach a "consensus solution" to the crisis related to the Central Bank.

In a press statement published by the UN mission on its official page, the members of the Council urged Libyan actors and institutions to urgently refrain from any unilateral measures, warning that such measures would "increase tensions, undermine confidence and reinforce institutional divisions and differences among Libyans".

The statement urged the Libyan parties to avoid any "military actions that could jeopardize Libya's fragile stability and the security of civilians as well as the 2020 ceasefire agreement", stressing the importance of achieving accountability.

The members of the Security Council reminded all political leaders and institutions of their commitments and obligations in line with relevant Security Council resolutions, in particular Security Council resolution 2702 (2023), based on the Libyan Political Agreement and the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum Roadmap, and based on the updated electoral laws agreed by the 6+6 Committee.

The Security Council called on all Libyan parties to engage fully, in good faith and without preconditions, and to make the necessary concessions to advance the Libyan-led political process, facilitated by the United Nations, in line with Security Council resolution 2702 (2023).

The members of the Security Council expressed their full support for UNSMIL to continue implementing its mandate, including ongoing work to de-escalate tensions, maintain stability and build confidence among key stakeholders, and reaffirmed in their statement their support for the Secretary-General’s appointment of a new Special Representative for Libya as soon as possible.

The Council members stressed in the statement the importance of ensuring the full, equal, effective, reasonable and safe participation of women and the involvement of youth and civil society representatives in all activities and decision-making related to the democratic transition, stressing their strong support for Libya's sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity.
