EU & UN Condemn Ceasefire Violations in Libyan Capital
The European Union Delegation and the embassies of EU Member States in Libya have joined the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in condemning the recent ceasefire violations that took place during the Eid holiday. In a joint statement, the European missions expressed deep concern over renewed clashes and urged all Libyan parties to uphold their obligations under the ceasefire agreement. The statement emphasized the urgent need to protect civilians and avoid further damage to essential infrastructure at a time when the country is already grappling with political and economic challenges. According to the statement, the resurgence of violence serves as a clear reminder of the need to restart a credible and inclusive political process, under the facilitation of the United Nations. This process must be Libyan-led and nationally owned, aiming to resolve divisions and restore legitimacy to Libya's national institutions through comprehensive and transparent elections. The EU missions warned against unilateral actions by any group or institution, stating that such moves risk jeopardizing progress made toward peace and stability. Instead, they called for a renewed commitment to dialogue, compromise, and cooperation among all Libyan stakeholders. The EU and its member states reiterated their support for the efforts of UNSMIL and their broader commitment to assisting Libya in achieving a sustainable political settlement. They also reaffirmed their position that those responsible for actions threatening peace, harming civilians, or undermining state institutions must be held accountable. The joint statement concludes by calling for an immediate return to calm and a renewed focus on national reconciliation, stressing that the international community stands ready to support Libya in navigating a path toward unity, stability, and development.
