UNITED NATION: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has announced the appointment of Stephanie Williams of the US as his special adviser on Libya. In response, Guterres, in a letter dated November 23, accepted Kubis' resignation, effective as of December 10. Dujarric said that the special adviser is a new position and that she will be based in Tripoli instead of Geneva, where Special Envoy Kubis was based. Although technically not a successor to Kubis, Williams will be leading the work of the UN in Libya, said Dujarric. She became acting special representative and head of the UN Support Mission in Libya in March 2020 following the sudden resignation of Ghassan Salame as special representative.
