  1. “We commend the United Nations work in coordination with the African Union and repeat the statement by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission at the latest Tokyo International Conference on African Development, held in Japan on 28 and 30 August, that "African problems ought to be solved by Africans themselves, as illustrated by the signing on 6 August of the peace agreement between the Government of Mozambique and the armed opposition RENAMO and by the political arrangements for a democratic transition in Sudan." Once again, we express our solidarity with the Libyan people.”

  2. “Accordingly, we believe that, by not condemning such interference and failing to take definitive action, the Council and its members are legitimizing, and therefore permitting it to happen. We do not believe that this is the image the Council wants to project to the world. To conclude, we urge the Council and the international community to redouble their efforts to find a genuine political solution focused on the interests of the Libyan people.”

  3. “Without straying too far from the matter, allow me to further insist on a point that we have long been stressing and which we believe was, and continues to be, the main obstacle crippling the work of Mr. Salame and the United Nations, that is, the issue of blatant and deliberate foreign interference in Libya. It is a key factor in the crisis and, if not removed from the equation, will doom us to the prolongation of this painful conflict. As we stated at the our meeting on 29 July, the Council and the United Nations must vehemently condemn such interference as a violation of the principle of State sovereignty and integrity, and consequently, of the Charter of the United Nations and a pillar of the Council, namely, the safeguarding of peace and security.”

  4. “We also condemn the deplorable attacks on health personnel and health facilities, as well as the obstruction of access to basic resources such as water and electricity, among others. With regard to the security situation, we deeplyregret the escalation of the conflict, which is compounded by the presence of foreign fighters and active terrorists and by egregious and orchestrated violations of the arms embargo by the main actors in the conflict, as well as by other United Nations States Members. The massive flow of arms serves only to rekindle the conflict and spread instability and insecurity throughout the region. The Council must be stricter and speak unequivocally on this issue and must take more effective measures to put an end to the crisis.”

  5. “We are concerned about the number of civilians killed and internally displaced, as well as the more than 5,000 migrants and refugees arbitrarily held in detention centres, not to mention the high number of deaths off the coast of Libya and in the Mediterranean recently. In that connection, we welcome the measures presented by Mr. Salame' at the meeting held on 29 July (see S/PV.8588), in particular the call for the closure of detention centres, which we strongly support and hope will soon take place. It is with alarm that we highlight the repeated violations of human rights law and international humanitarian law. We condemn the attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, clear recent examples being the attacks against Zuwara and Mitiga airports between 15 and 17 August and 1 September.”

  6. “Allow me to begin my intervention by expressing the solidarity of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea with the Libyan people and our hope that a solution to the serious crisis is found and that the peace so desired by Libyans and the countries of our region of Africa is restored. We reiterate our firm support for Mr. Salame in his immeasurable task and unwavering message that there is no military solution in Libya. We urge the parties to establish an immediate and definitive ceasefire and to resume the political process through direct, frank and inclusive dialogue. We approach today's meeting with the utmost concern about the situation and the deterioration of humanitarian conditions.”

  7. “Mr. Edjo Memba (Equatorial Guinea) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, allow me to join others in congratulating you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of this organ for the month of September and to thank Poland for its excellent work last month. I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2019/682) of 26 August. We also extend our thanks to the Special Representative of the Secretary- General and Head of United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Mr. Ghassan Salame, and Ambassador Juergen Schulz, in his capacity as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), concerning Libya, for their briefings. We also thank Ms. Mohamed for the information provided to the Council.”
