It is a pleasure to welcome you to this first Security Council briefing in your new role. Today I’d like to talk about the three main steps for permanent peace in Libya: unity, transparency, and free and fair elections. And that means all external actors involved in this conflict must cease their military intervention, respect the Libyan ceasefire agreement, and begin withdrawing from Libya immediately. That means genuinely and actively supporting the UN political process, implementing the ceasefire agreement, and respecting the UN arms embargo. We welcome the deployment of the UN advance team to Libya as the next step in the ceasefire agreement.
