The UN Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the progress that Libya's warring sides have made towards peace since signing a ceasefire in October, diplomats said. The opposing sides in Libya had asked for a UN resolution documenting their progress on political and security issues once they came to the ceasefire agreement last fall. Libya has been ravaged by bloodshed since the fall and killing of dictator Moamer Kadhafi in a NATO-backed 2011 revolt. The two camps, each supported by foreign powers, fought for more than a year before Haftar was forced to retreat. According to diplomats, the Security Council also unanimously adopted a second resolution on Libya on Friday.
