In reality it is an unattainable and very problematic measure from the point of view of respect for human rights. And a first issue, upstream, is that “naval blockade” is a wrong expression to describe what Meloni proposes. It is a very different thing from a naval blockade. Despite the meager description, it is clear that the Brothers of Italy proposal is unachievable and problematic from the point of view of respecting the human rights of migrants. #naval #blockade #migrants #unachievable #problematic #Post

The United Nations has voiced concern about Libya's security situation, stressing that elections are the only way to break the current impasse in the North African country. The two sides traded blame for the violence leading to the bloodletting. The UN' Libya mission called for "an immediate cessation of hostilities," citing "ongoing armed clashes including indiscriminate medium and heavy shelling in civilian-populated neighborhoods." She called on both parties to reach an agreement on a constitutional framework and a timeline for long-awaited elections that have been deadlocked since last December.

NEW DELHI: India has slammed Turkey for showing "blatant disregard" for UN security council resolutions on Libya saying such violations are a cause for serious concern. Participating in a UNSC briefing on Libya, Indian ambassador to UN Ruchira Kamboj said such activities are also in violation of the ceasefire agreement agreed by the Libyan parties themselves in 2020 and adverse effects of such actions are being seen in the enduring political stalemate. India's relationship with Turkey has been heading south in the recent past because of the latter's continued support for Pakistan's position on J&K, particularly after India's decision to revoke special status of the erstwhile state. "We reiterate that the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of Libya must be safeguarded. The political process needs to be fully Libyan-led and Libyan-owned with no imposition or external interference," she said.
