  1. “That includes our European partners, who aim to combat human traffickers who are sending thousands Africans and Arabs to their deaths in the Mediterranean Sea. We, too, would like to eradicate this scourge, which is a gross violation of human rights. As Libyans, Africans, Arabs and Europeans, it is incumbent upon us to combat infiltration into Libya by the many groups of terrorists. Again, as I have said, that requires a multipronged strategy and plan of action in which all our partners participate.”

  2. “However, we have seen no active implementation of the resolution thus far - not just in terms of removing restrictions on the supply of weapons to the Libyan army, but also with regard to building up the capacity ofthe army and supporting the ability of the Government to implement paragraphs 7 and 10 of the resolution. Thirdly, also last December, given the failure of the international community to act, I said that we feared ISIS would expand further in Libya and that it could have a similar presence as it has in Syria and Iraq. Fourthly, the concerns of our African brothers and our partners and friends in Europe are legitimate. We share the concerns of our Arab and African friends about the expansion of terrorism in Libya and its negative repercussions on their countries' domestic situations.”

  3. “However, I want to emphasize that 40 Libyans were also killed as a result of terrorist acts in the eastern part of our country on 20 February. That is in addition to the beheading of 12 Libyan citizens and the burning of a Salafist cleric after exhuming his remains from the grave where he was buried 12 days earlier. That took place on Friday, 14 August. Before that and since, scores of innocent Libyans have been killed by ISIS in Derna, Benghazi and Tripoli. Yet there are no resources for the Libyan army to fend off the increasing threats to our country and our people. I would like to emphasize that we are grateful to the Council for its adoption of resolution 2214 (2015), on 27 March.”

  4. “We in fact want a comprehensive strategy against ISIS, not just in Syria and Iraq but in Libya, Tunisia and other places in the region plagued by terrorism. Since October, when a group announced its affiliation in ISIS in Derna, eastern Libya, ISIS has been expanding and receiving the support of hundreds of terrorist fighters flooding into that city and into Benghazi and Sirte. As I said last December, I reiterate today that ISIS is expanding and that there has been no effective action to support the army and the people of Libya in facing up to terrorism. Secondly, we condemn the heinous crimes - respectively, in February and April - that targeted our 21 brothers from Egypt and our 28 brothers from Ethiopia.”

  5. “I wish to reiterate what I said here in the Chamber on 19 December 2014 (see S/PV.7351) during the special meeting convened by the Chadian presidency on the issue of terrorism. First, there is a need to conclude a comprehensive strategy against Daesh. All morning we have heard about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other terrorist organizations in those countries. I also heard a reference to ISIS in Libya, without specific mention of what is to be done in Libya. Everyone agrees on the need to form a Government of national accord, and we are committed to that as a national priority and, as I just said, as being crucial to face the numerous challenges we are confronting in Libya today. However, that is not enough.”

  6. “Mr. Dayri (Libya) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to begin, Sir, by extending my congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We also thank you for choosing this important issue for today's debate. I would like to emphasize the position of the legitimate authorities of Libya with regard to our commitment to a national dialogue as sponsored by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to agree on the formation of a Government of national accord, whose priorities will include restoring peace and stability and combating terrorism. Along with the people of Libya, the legitimate authorities seek further support to combat terrorism alongside pursuing the political track in the Libyan crisis.”

  7. “With respect to the resolutions on monitoring and controlling the trafficking of weapons and their transfer to armed groups in Libya, as well as the financing of those groups, we appreciate in particular the effort of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in presenting a draft resolution to the Council, and we cherish the hope that it will enjoy the Council's full support.”

  8. “In conclusion, the House of Representatives and the Government, in their capacity as the legitimate representatives of the country, extend their full support to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Bernardino Leon, in achieving a political solution to the Libyan crisis, through dialogue. The grave challenges facing Libya represent a threat to the entire region. Given the lack of effective international support, we run the risk of proving incapable of eradicating that cancer, whose spread could infest the entire region. We therefore call on the Security Council to take all these aspects fully into account. We desire backing for the legitimate Libyan authorities in their efforts to duly control the entire Libyan territory and its borders. We reaffirm our support for the Council in that process.”

  9. “Cooperation must be strengthened at the international, regional and subregional levels and among the States of the region to control their borders. Appropriate coordination and information-sharing mechanisms must be established to enable the arrest and prosecution of those accused of crimes. We need effective cooperation to deal with foreign terrorist fighters, in the framework of resolution 2178 (2014), and action to halt that phenomenon. Furthermore, we must address the issue of abduction and hostage-taking, which are used by terrorist groups inside and outside of Libya as a source of financing and to exert political pressure.”

  10. “The most recent success of the Libyan army in its tireless struggle against terrorism gave vivid proof of the need for professional training for its military and security institutions. While I do not call for international intervention to deal with ISIS and Ansar al-Sharia, in view of the lack of international support the Libyan Government has called on brotherly Egypt to support the Libyan army in confronting terrorism, although that call was not included in the declaration issued yesterday, 17 February. There is a close link between terrorism and transnational crime in all its forms, including trafficking in weapons, drugs and petroleum products, money-laundering and human trafficking, among others.”

  11. “Libya requires a decisive stance on the part of the international community to help it to build the capacity of its national army by lifting the arms embargo so that our army can receive military materiel and weapons to counter the rampant terrorism in my country. Libya also requires assistance to strengthen its legal institutions to ensure their capacities to address extremism and terrorism. A failure to provide weapons and training to the Libyan army to assist it in confronting terrorism will only play into the extremists" hands, ensure instability in Libya and have negative repercussions on the security sector throughout the region, and thus on international peace and security.”

  12. “They have attempted to take over the ports from which we export oil and have attacked several oil fields in order to finance their terrorist activities throughout the world and to transform Libya into a hub for their terrorist activities in North Africa, the Sahel and the Mediterranean basin. In the light of all this, we welcomed the adoption last week of resolution 2199 (2015). However, the Council's interest in the disastrous situation ofterrorism prevailing in my country is nowhere near the intensity that benefited our brothers in Iraq and Syria when they faced similar problems. We therefore call upon the international community to shoulder its responsibility in maintaining peace and security in Libya, particularly since the situation in my country threatens not only the countries of Africa, but also those of Europe.”

  13. “Before both the General Assembly and the Security Council, the legitimate Libyan authorities have repeatedly alerted the international community to the dangers of terrorism and its spread to Libya. Today, I am here to reiterate in this Chamber that Libya can no longer remain silent in the face of terrorism. It is clear that the challenges facing Libya's legitimate authorities are enormous now that armed terrorist groups have taken possession of entire cities in Libya and are proclaiming the Al-Qaida doctrine and announced to the entire world that they have joined with ISIS.”

  14. “While we await further success, the needs of the Libyan army have become more urgent than ever before, with a view to strengthening the national dialogue based, inter alia, on the need to combat terrorism. It has become increasingly apparent of late that the army must be supported in its mission through strengthened efforts, which must include, first, dealing with all Libyan terrorist groups and organizations, such as Ansar al-Sharia and ISIS. That will require the international community - which helped Libya rid itself of the former dictatorial regime before leaving it prey to the security vacuum - to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities in providing urgent support, first and foremost, by rebuilding and rearming our armed forces so that they can take action.”

  15. “The terrorist group ISIS and its allies have been working tirelessly to kill and assassinate innocent people, destroy the infrastructure and economies of countries, and to offer a safe haven for terrorists of various nationalities. This is a threat to Libya and other States, particularly our neighbouring States. Nevertheless, among the positive indicators that have arisen, we look forward to a national dialogue in Libya. The three rounds of discussion will take place thanks to the remarkable and laudable efforts of Mr. Bernardino Leon, Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, and his good offices aimed at ensuring unity and successful dialogue. As we await further success, the complex situation prevailing in my country is deteriotating, in particular since ISIS appeared on the blood-soaked landscape, as I said earlier.”

  16. “My country reiterates its condemnation and absolute rejection of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of the source, motive or justification, wherever and by whomever it is perpetrated. My country reaffirms that terrorism is a serious phenomenon that threatens the stability and security of States. We are seeing this phenomenon turn into a front line that stretches from the Middle East through North Africa and covers the Mediteranean as well as the Sahel, demonstrating that no one in those regions is immune to the phenomenon. I was eager to personally attend this meeting, following the 19 December 2014 Security Council debate on counter-terrorism (see S/PV.7351), in order to reaffirm the commitment of the Government of Libya to combating contemporary terrorism as one of our top priorities.”

  17. “Mr. Dayri (Libya) (spoke in Arabic): It is a pleasure for me, Mr. President, to congratulate you on China's accession to the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We have every confidence in your ability to lead the Council and to achieve fruitful results. The people and Government of Libya once again reiterate their deep condolences to our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt; to the President, the Government and the people of Egypt; and to the families and victims of the heinous crime perpetrated by the terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham (ISIS) against 21 Egyptian citizens in Libya. Such a heinous act runs counter to all principles and values of humanity and monotheistic religions.”
