FN’s Sikkerhedsråd forlængede i denne uge verdensorganisationens mission i landet frem til udgangen af 2015. FN vil b.a. assistere Libyen med det kommende parlamentsvalg i juni og i det hele taget støtte det unge demokrati efter Muammar Gaddafis fald og voldsomme død.
NEW YORK, 14 March 2014 (UN News Centre): In the resolution adopted Friday, the 15-member Council wrote that as an immediate priority, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) would ensure the success of the democratic transition process in the country, which has been under way since the toppling of Muammar al-Qadhafi three years ago.
This includes promoting, facilitating and providing technical advice, as well as assisting a single, inclusive and transparent national dialogue, and the drafting of a new constitution.
Further to the text, the Council mandates UNSMIL, “as an immediate priority” to support the Government to ensure the transition to democracy, including by assisting a single, inclusive and transparent national dialogue, to Libyan electoral processes and to the process of preparing, drafting and adopting a new constitution.
Briefing the Council last week, Tarik Mitri, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of UNSMIL, described a recent polarization in the country, a dramatic increase in violence, including attacks on the media, as well as difficulties in strengthening the security sector.
The Council also extended until 13 April 2015 the mandate of the Panel of Experts assisting the 1970 Libya Sanctions Committee.
