  1. “We continue to believe that in order to achieve that goal, our efforts should focus on allowing Libyan priorities to materialize. These are most prominent in the fields of national reconciliation, institution-building, peacebuilding and economic development, and should be pursued without foreign interference and for the benefit of the Libyan people, under a unified Libyan State.”

  2. “Finally, we would like to reiterate the concerns that have been expressed about the active management of Libyan assets frozen abroad, as well as the application of policies that can contribute to the erosion of those assets. We recall the conclusion by the Panel of Experts that active management of Libyan assets is not allowed under the auspices of operative paragraph 19 of resolution 1970 (2011). We also recall the Panel’s observation that some national policies used in commercial banking may actually contradict the aim of the sanctions regime, which is to preserve those funds for the benefit of the Libyan population. Brazil stands committed to further contributing to a restoration of peace and stability in Libya in a manner that is respectful of Libya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

  3. “We particularly welcome the Commission’s endorsement last week of terms of reference paving the way for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of armed groups in Libya. We look forward to further results on that front, bearing in mind the Commission’s upcoming meeting scheduled for next month. Regarding the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya, we would like to highlight resolutions 2647 (2022) and 2656 (2022), the two most recent in this area, adopted in July and October. Both acknowledged the need for a synchronized, phased, gradual and balanced withdrawal. At the same time, they both also urged for the withdrawal to begin immediately, without further delay. Brazil therefore calls on all parties to act accordingly.”

  4. “That circumstance increases the demand for neutrality and impartiality on the part of the operation implementing the embargo. We welcome the French Mission’s organization last week of a briefing session on the European Union Naval Force Mediterranean Operation IRINI, with the participation of the Force Commander. A better understanding of the obstacles related to logistics and capacity that are preventing Operation IRINI from identifying more vessels in potential breach of the arms embargo would certainly strengthen perceptions that it is objectively contributing to reducing the flow of weapons into Libya. Brazil commends the contribution of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission to consolidating the ceasefire agreement reached in 2020.”

  5. “We welcome the Special Representative’s recent engagement with actors in the region and hope it can actually contribute to the implementation of Libyan solutions reached within Libya through negotiations involving all Libyan stakeholders. In that regard, we also recall the significant role that the Peacebuilding Commission can play, on Libya’s request, in mobilizing and coordinating international attention to the country in full respect for Libya’s sovereignty. Brazil emphasizes the importance of enforcing the arms embargo in Libya in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner. Today the authorization for Member States to inspect vessels suspected of violating the arms embargo is for all practical purposes being acted on by only one regional organization.”

  6. “We concur with the Special Representative that there is a deficit of legitimacy in the parallel Government institutions that emerged from an incomplete transitional period that has already expired. Against that backdrop, we should be careful not to allow the domestic bifurcation of Libya’s institutions to replicate itself internationally. In that regard, Brazil emphasizes the need to coordinate international efforts aimed at Libya under the auspices of the appropriate United Nations agencies, as well as the mediating role of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Channelling those efforts adequately through the appropriate multilateral forums is essential to ensuring a true Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process.”

  7. “In that regard, Brazil would like to emphasize that through its 1970 Sanctions Committee, the Council remains in a position to target individuals who undermine the successful completion of the Libyan political transition. It is worth reminding the Council that should there be evidence supporting any findings that individuals are obstructing elections, the Committee can extend to those persons the measures set out in resolution 1970 (2011) and as modified by subsequent resolutions. That was indeed the Council’s reminder through its adoption in October of paragraph 8 of resolution 2656 (2022), demonstrating the unity that is needed to address the situation in Libya. In addition, the unity of the Council should go beyond its call for elections.”

  8. “I would like to thank you, Madam President, for your briefing in your capacity as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), and for India’s chairmanship of the Committee throughout its mandate. I also thank the Special Representative Bathily for his briefing and welcome the Libyan delegation to today’s meeting. Last month we heard the Special Representative speak about some of the obstacles preventing progress towards elections in Libya (see S/PV.9192). The picture painted today differs little from what we heard then. Mr. Bathily spoke very candidly of some Libyan institutional players who are actively hindering the progress towards elections.”

  9. “We stress once again the importance of fully respecting the arms embargo and implementing it in accordance with the terms set out in relevant Security Council resolutions. The Council must find unity as it calls on the Libyan parties to put aside their differences and move forward in a genuine Libyan-led and Libyan- owned political process.”

  10. “We also note with concern the persistent active management of Libyan assets frozen abroad, particularly under policies that result in the erosion of frozen funds, thereby contradicting the aim of the sanctions regime, which is to preserve those funds for the benefit of the Libyan people. Brazil recalls the conclusions of the Panel of Experts on Libya of the Committee pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), which underscore that the active management of Libyan frozen assets is not allowed, according to paragraph 19 of resolution 1970 (2011). Finally, my delegation observes that the Council’s authorization for Member States to implement the arms embargo on Libya continues to give rise to controversy.”

  11. “We highlight the importance of effective accountability mechanisms to further dissuade attempts to bring about political change by force. Brazil also remains concerned about the impetus to increase oil output from Libya to respond to demands in the global oil market. In the absence of a unified Government policy, including on fair and transparent revenue distribution, the parameters for the management of natural resources in Libya, as a corollary of Libyan sovereignty, should remain for Libyan national development and the well-being of all Libyans, rather than a response to foreign-driven interests and pressures.”

  12. “We welcomed the announcement by the Presidency Council of the launching of a national reconciliation strategy for Libya last June. We look forward to the implementation of that strategy, while taking into account the offer made by the African Union to support Libyan efforts for national reconciliation. We also thank Morocco for its efforts in support of intra-Libyan dialogue, including most recently by hosting talks between the President of the High Council of State and the Speaker of the House of Representatives over the past weekend. We are optimistic about the outcome of the most recent talks. Brazil remains concerned, however, that the persistence of the political impasse risks being instrumentalized to fuel a return to conflict and violence. We recall that there can be no military solution to the Libyan crisis.”

  13. “We acknowledge the contributions of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission as a platform for intra-Libyan dialogue to tackle the structural conditions related to armed violence. We also underline the importance of regional coordination for the return of foreign fighters to their countries of origin. The Security Council has repeatedly acknowledged the strong linkages between stability and security in Libya and in neighbouring countries, particularly in the Sahel. We therefore call for closer coordination between UNSMIL and other United Nations missions operating in the region. Brazil also highlights the involvement of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in the Sahel and encourages an exchange of views between the Council and the PBC on the Libyan file.”

  14. “We also encourage the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General to follow through with the recommendations of the UNSMIL independent strategic review, including by strengthening the use of strategic communications to support the Mission’s activities. The organization of elections on a firm constitutional basis constitutes one important step towards unifying Government institutions in Libya. We recall the importance of other steps to ensure peace and stability in the country, as part of an integrated, strategic and coherent approach to peacebuilding. The disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of armed groups should be a priority on the security track, closely interlinked with the development conditions and the human rights situation in Libya.”

  15. “We would like to thank the newly appointed Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Mr. Abdoulaye Bathily, for his briefing and to ensure him of Brazil’s full support. Brazil believes that Mr. Bathily’s appointment has reopened a window of opportunity, particularly in the first few months of his mandate, for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to be effective in its advisory role in support of a true Libyan- led and Libyan-owned political process. We therefore encourage the Special Representative to engage with all Libyan stakeholders with a sense of urgency and to build on existing agreements, including the principles agreed on in the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum.”
