  1. “The Government will work with all its might, in cooperation with all Libyans, to avoid differences and wars and to begin to build a united, stable and modern Libya. I thank the Council for its concern for my country and its people.”

  2. “We therefore once again call on the international community, particularly the African Union, to coordinate with the United Nations to support the efforts of the Presidency Council and the Government of National Unity towards national reconciliation and transitional justice. Such efforts will restore confidence and promote stability in the country. We also call on the Council to implement its resolutions on addressing the obstructers, local and international, who continue to threaten to wage war and rely on military solutions while working with all their might to prevent the Libyan people from expressing their will. In conclusion, we take this opportunity to reiterate to the Libyan people and the world the resolve of the Government of National Unity to make involvement in new wars a thing of the past.”

  3. “The Government of National Unity emphasizes that it will carry out the necessary economic reforms to improve the services offered to citizens and to grant them a decent living. We call on the relevant States involved in the situation in Libya to work to create an environment conducive to productive and collective work and to end their systematic internal attempts to weaken our Government efforts to address economic challenges which, regrettably, only harms Libyan citizens and the interests of States that have invested in Libya. We wish to stress that the success of the political process in Libya in ending the crisis will require the ability to achieve comprehensive national reconciliation.”

  4. “Accordingly, we insist that continuing those actions will greatly affect Libyan money that the Security Council has promised to preserve. We once again stress our previous demands that the sanctions regime be amended in a manner that allows the relevant Libyan institutions to manage Libyan funds, despite their being frozen. That would allow the institutions to carry out their work perfectly and without impediment and end further depreciation of those assets. We also call on the Council to cooperate by implementing some amendments to its resolution on exemptions in order for us to use those exemptions for humanitarian purposes, in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions.”

  5. “We highly appreciate all approaches that acknowledge that migration must be addressed not only through measures taken on the Mediterranean or along the Libyan coast, but at the source of its causes. It is a global human issue and cannot be the responsibility of any single State. Thirdly, the Government of National Unity would like to remind the Security Council of its commitments and promises to preserve the Libyan people’s resources, represented in the assets frozen by the relevant Security Council resolutions. We emphasize once again that the measures taken by some States through their exploitation of resolution 1970 (2011) are a source of great concern. We find that those actions contradict the purposes of that resolution.”

  6. “Secondly, we call on the international community to support Libya in uniting the Libyan army and security forces within a comprehensive security strategy that includes the implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes and security sector reform and securing the borders to consolidate stability and prevent threats against our national security, especially from neighbouring countries and those of the Sahel region. These measures will allow the State to control its territories and borders and allow us to face the real enemy of Libya and the region, which is terrorism and extremism in all its forms, transborder crime and human trafficking. Our Government is also working to address illegal migration.”

  7. “In that regard, we reiterate our continued efforts to fulfil the confidence-building measures through practical steps, foremost among which is reopening the east-west coastal road and releasing all detainees from both sides. In that connection, allow me to summarize the position of our Government, which is reflected in its efforts to achieve stability in both the economic and the security spheres. First, the Government of National Unity emphasizes that the continued presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters on Libyan territories is unacceptable. We emphasize that they must immediately and simultaneously be withdrawn. We remind the relevant States of their responsibilities with regard to the actions of their citizens outside their territories and the need to immediately withdraw them.”

  8. “All participating States have expressed their commitment to fulfilling the Security Council’s resolutions and to respecting Libya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We also emphasize that this continued presence poses a real threat to the current political process and to efforts to preserve the ceasefire and to continue uniting the Libyan army. As Council members know, the speedy withdrawal of mercenaries and foreign fighters was among the provisions of the ceasefire agreement that was signed by the 5 + 5 Joint Military Commission in October 2020. On this occasion, I would like to pay tribute to the members of the Commission for their efforts and their patriotism, despite all the challenges.”

  9. “We are following up on this important issue to secure the safety of electors, candidates and the entire election process. In that regard, I call on my sisters and brothers in the House of Representatives, the High State Council and the members of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum to put their differences aside, fulfil their historic responsibilities to the Libyan people and reach consensus so that we can hold the general elections at the scheduled time. The issue of mercenaries and foreign fighters on Libyan territories remains one of the greatest impediments to stability in Libya. We underscore here today the need for the Council to assist us in resolutely addressing that matter. All parties must abide by relevant Security Council resolutions and the conclusions reached at the first and second Berlin conferences.”

  10. “We have formed a ministerial committee to support the elections and have allocated the funds available to support the High National Elections Commission, despite the fact that the general budget has not been adopted by the House of the Representatives, although we presented it more than three months ago, immediately after the Government adopted it. This hampers our efforts to improve citizens lives and fulfil their immediate and urgent needs, particularly their humanitarian needs, and to provide an environment conducive to holding the elections. With regard to ensuring the security of the elections, we have instructed the Ministry of the Interior to train 30,000 personnel to be responsible for securing ballot centres throughout the Libyan territories.”

  11. “We stress that the decision to hold the parliamentary and presidential elections on 24 December is a national choice and a historic entitlement. It requires solidarity and close cooperation among each and every person, in accordance with their roles and responsibilities. At the forefront of the task ahead is the finalization of the constitutional basis for elections and the necessary electoral legislation as soon as possible. We, the executive authority, are doing our part to support that historic entitlement.”

  12. “By the grace of God, we have been able in a short time to unite most executive institutions in the country, despite all the challenges, and we look forward to continuing to fulfil all entitlements of the sovereign institutions, which is the purview of the House of Representatives and the High State Council. We urge them to accelerate their efforts to unite those institutions so that the Government can work as efficiently and effectively as required. On this occasion, we would like to thank UNSMIL and the Libyan Audit Bureau, which audited the accounts of the Central Bank, leading to the recommendation of uniting the bank in Tripoli, which would improve the State’s economic situation and reflect positively on the life of our citizens.”

  13. “The Security Council is holding its meeting on Libya today in circumstances unlike those of previous years, which were marked by divisions, differences and wars. Today we are seeing light at the end of the dark tunnel that we have endured for years. By the grace of God and Libyan efforts, and with the support of the United Nations and sisterly and friendly nations, we have been able to achieve a more stable and more positive situation in Libya. This has occurred under the Government of National Unity. We are seeking to achieve stability through the Libyan stabilization initiative and by working with international partners on both the security and the economic tracks. Our Government represents everyone and excludes no one. It is free of the conflicts over legitimacy that Libya had suffered for many years.”

  14. “Mr. Dbeibah (Libya) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on your country’s assumption of the presidency of the Council this month and on convening today’s high-level meeting to address the situation in my country, Libya. I would also like to thank Secretary-General António Guterres for his personal efforts and follow- up in seeking a peaceful solution to the Libyan crisis. I also thank Mr. Ján Kubiš, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), for his briefing on the latest developments in my country. We wish the United Nations Support Mission in Libya every success in its efforts to assist Libyans and to provide support and counsel in order to resolve the Libyan crisis.”
