A joint statement on the Libyan political process was issued by the leaders of the UK, US, France, Germany, and Italy. “We urge Libyan political leaders to engage constructively in negotiations, including through the good offices of UNSMIL, to unlock the executive impasse and agree on a pathway to elections. Violence, incitement to violence and hate speech are inexcusable and unacceptable. “We underline that Libya’s resources must be managed in a transparent, responsible and accountable manner throughout the country, and for the benefit of the Libyan people. We urge Libya’s leaders to agree on the country’s public spending priorities and establish a joint revenue management and oversight structure through continuing engagement with the Berlin Process Economic Working Group.”
