New York (IINA) – The United Nations Security Council on Saturday urged all Libyan parties to endorse and sign the political agreement for the creation of a Government of National Accord, UN News Center reported.
Following broad consultations facilitated by UN Special Representative Bernardino León, it was announced last week that a national unity government could be proposed, which included Fayez Sarraj for the position of Prime Minister. He is currently a member of parliament at the House of Representatives from Tripoli.
In a statement issued Saturday, the members of the Security Council stressed that “the agreement offers a real prospect for resolving Libya's political, security, and institutional crises".
They also noted that the Libya Sanctions Committee “is prepared to designate those who threaten Libya's peace, stability and security or who undermine the successful completion of its political transition,” while reaffirming their strong commitment to the “sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya".
