By Sami Zaptia.

London, 31 December 2020:

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for the formation of an international committee to monitor Libya’s ceasefire.

The call came in a letter he addressed to the Member States of the Security Council in which he called for the formation of a monitoring committee comprising civilians and retired military personnel from international bodies such as the African Union, the European Union and the Arab League.

“I call on all concerned local, regional and international bodies to respect the outcome of the ceasefire agreement and to ensure its implementation without delay,” Guterres’s said.

“I urge Member States and regional organizations to support the mechanism for implementing the ceasefire, including the provision of personnel for observation under the supervision of the United Nations.”

He also called on ‘‘All countries to abide by the arms embargo imposed by the United Nations on Libya, which is subject to flagrant violations.”

  3. The suspension of all training of troops domestically and abroad
  4. The suspension of all international defence agreements
  5. The formation of a Joint Operations Room for a joint police and military force
  6. The identification and categorization of all militias and a mechanism for their reintegration (DDR).
  7. Confidence-building measures by resuming travel between west and east Libya
  8. Ending hate speech
  9. Exchanging prisoners
  10. Reorganizing the Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG)
  11. Monitoring of the ceasefire
