Malta has called for an “effective implementation” of the arms embargo on Libya after Turkey’s decision to send troops to the North African state. A UN arms embargo on Libya has not been strictly enforced but Turkey’s direct intervention in the conflict would represent a blatant disregard of the embargo. Valletta said that a solution for peace, security, stability and prosperity in Libya required a “durable and comprehensive ceasefire, and an effective implementation of the arms embargo on Libya”. The PN said Malta had always been on the forefront in providing support to “such an important country in the Mediterranean”.
