  1. “Without strong support, we would be unable to combat and defeat terrorism and the country would soon become a cancerous tumor. I therefore call on the Council to take our situation into account by providing the necessary assistance to the legitimate Libyan authorities in extending their control over their borders and territory.”

  2. “Ansar al-Sharia was declared a terrorist group by the Counter-Terrorism Committee on 19 November. The actions of Libyan people and Government, alongside other entities opposed to the extremists groups that continue to impose bloodshed and destruction on the country, should enjoy the support of the international community. Thirdly, the statement called on the international community, represented by the Security Council, to oppose all trafficking in oil, which constitutes an act of aggression not only against the Libyan people, but also against the peace and security of neighbouring countries and the international community as a whole. In conclusion, Libya is encountering serious challenges and threats, which it is meeting together with other States of the region.”

  3. “The statement issued on Tuesday, 16 December, by the House of Representatives, following upon its statement of 11 November, asserted its support for the political efforts being made by United Nations Special Representative Bernardino Leon in the wake of the 13 December attacks, which were even worse than those undertaken last month by the same terrorist group. The statement made the following points. First, the operations undertaken by certain Libyan groups in the name of the so-called Libyan National Council reflect the use of violence to achieve the political aims of groups acting outside the framework of national legitimacy. Secondly, there is a clear link between the Libyan National Council for Relief and Support, Ansar al-Sharia and other Libyan groups.”

  4. “Despite that fact, foreign fighters unfortunately continue to join the ranks of terrorist groups, and weapons continue to enter and leave Libya. That is beyond the control of the Libyan Government, given the lack of our resources to monitor our lengthy borders in uninhabited desert areas. We need to work on international cooperation among all States that have pledged to join the international campaign to combat terrorism and with neighbouring countries who are experiencing this scourge. This international effort must include the provision of weapons to the Government and efforts to dry up sources of funding for terrorism. The situation is growing increasingly dangerous and grave.”

  5. “Therefore, it is important to enhance international, regional and subregional cooperation and cooperation with neighbouring countries in border control and to put in place coordination and information exchange mechanisms that can allow us to pursue criminals and prosecute them. Libya understands the importance of cooperation among countries of the region in this area and hosted a ministerial meeting on border control. That produced the Tripoli action plan on regional cooperation and border control, which was adopted by the ministerial regional council, held on 11 and 12 March 2012. Despite the limited resources and capacities of the Libyan army at this stage, we were able to agree upon a certain number of measures to control our borders with all our neighbouring countries.”

  6. “We assert that the terrorism in Libya is international in nature. That international terrorism has spread to Syria and other countries and seeks to spread further into the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel. An attack was carried out by militia on 13 December in the oil region in the centre of our country; the groups that carried it out seek to transfer control of those areas into terrorist hands so that they will control entire swathes of the territory in central Libya and the Sahel. There is a close relationship between terrorism and other transnational crime, such as trafficking in weapons, drugs and oil, money-laundering and human trafficking.”

  7. “Furthermore, Libya attracts those who wish to improve their economic situation and who are determined to emigrate to Europe, even if they need to employ illegitimate means to do so. Therefore, Libya is an important hub in which to combat terrorism and transnational organized crime in North Africa and the Sahel. In recent months, the challenges that face the legitimate Libyan authorities have become quite clear. Indeed, terrorist groups loyal to Al-Qaida control entire Libyan towns and announce to the entire world that they support Daesh in Syria and Iraq. The most recent confrontations between the Libyan army and those terrorist groups have shown that the latter do, unfortunately, include hundreds of Libyans and non-Libyans. In particular, they harbour citizens of neighbouring countries among their ranks.”

  8. “I wished to participate in this meeting because the subject under consideration is one of the priorities of the Libyan Government at this time. Indeed, Libya is experiencing a moment of unprecedented instability. The new Libyan army is combatting terrorist groups. In cooperation with neighbouring countries, we are seeking to control our borders in order to prevent infiltration by terrorists and foreign terrorist fighters and to prevent transnational crime. Throughout its history, Libya has been the doorway from Africa to the Mediterranean and Europe. Today that is again the case, as evidenced by the extensive legitimate and illegitimate activities and the movements of various elements and individuals within our country for various reasons, including tribal issues and the presence of foreign individuals.”

  9. “Mr. Al-Dairi (Libya) (spoke in Arabic): I am pleased to see you, Mr. Minister, presiding over this important meeting today, as a brother and colleague representing a brotherly country that is very dear to us and with which we enjoy good-neighbourly relations. We thank you for organizing this meeting and for having invited me to participate. I am sure that resolution 2195 (2014), just adopted by the Security Council, will enhance the joint work being done at the international and regional levels to combat terrorism and transnational organized crime. I pay tribute to the ministers present at this meeting: the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Chad, Nigeria and Luxembourg. I would also like to thank the Under- Secretary-General, Mr. Jeffrey Feltman, and Mr. Tete Antonio, Permanent Observer of the African Union, for their excellent briefings.”
