Ban continued that the UN was proud to have assisted at the birth of an independent Libya. He praised Libyans for all that they had achieved in such a short time.

“ We will stand by you as you build a fully free and democratic state,” he continued.“This is, truly, a moment for national celebration. We all know the road to democracy is long and hard.
