    LIBYA: PRESS STATMENT

    26 May 2017

    The members of the Security Council condemned the military


    escalation in southern Libya including the attack at Brak al-Shati on
    18 May, which reportedly resulted in the summary executions of
    combatants and civilians.

    The members of the Security Council welcomed the statement by


    Prime Minister Sarraj condemning the military escalation and
    launching an investigation into the attack at Brak al-Shati. The
    members of the Security Council also noted condemnations of the
    attack by other Libyan political institutions.

    The members of the Security Council also condemned the escalation


    in violence in Tripoli on 26 May. The members of the Security Council
    called on all parties in Libya to exercise restraint, reiterated that
    there can be no military solution and urged all parties to express
    their support for national reconciliation.

    The members of the Security Council called for perpetrators of


    criminal and terrorist acts across Libya to be brought to justice.

    The members of the Security Council commended the recent


    statements made by the Secretary-General and the African Union in
    this regard. The members of the Security Council recalled relevant
    Security Council resolutions 2213 (2015), 2259 (2015) and 2278
    (2016).

    The members of the Security Council welcomed recent efforts to


    strengthen dialogue between Libyans, supported by Libyas
    neighbours and regional organisations, and noted the importance of
    the UN-facilitated, Libyan-led process to advance inclusive political
    dialogue.

    The members of the Security Council called on Libyan stakeholders


    to expedite their work on the creation of unified state institutions,
    including unified national security forces under appropriate civilian
    control, and to combine their efforts to jointly fight terrorism.

    The members of the Security Council expressed alarm at the impact


    which the continued fighting is having on the humanitarian situation
    and called on all parties to facilitate immediate and sustained
    access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
    The members of the Security Council reiterated their grave concern
    at the increase in smuggling of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea
    off the coast of Libya, deplored the continued resulting tragedies,
    including on 24 May 2017 which resulted in dozens of casualties,
    and extended their deepest condolences to all those affected and
    their families.

    The members of the Security Council reiterated their full support for
    the work of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and the Libyan
    Political Agreement.
