Pulbished on:
New York March 19, 2024 (Lana) Assistant Secretary-General Robert Piper, Special Adviser on Solutions to Internal Displacement, commended national efforts made to address the issue of displaced people in Libya during his visit to the country late last year.
This came during a meeting held by Ambassador Taher El-Sonni, Permanent Representative of Libya to the UN, with Piper to discuss his role in reforming the way that the UN addresses the internal displacement and progress Libya is making in this issue.
During the meeting, Piper stressed the importance of rebuilding the support provided by the UN, making this issue more comprehensive, and linking it with peace-building discussions.
Piper said that the number of internally displaced people has recently increased significantly globally and that the tools currently used are insufficient to deal with this problem.
He also commended the support provided by the government and national authorities to deal with this issue and the local reconciliations that have been made in this regard.
