The Security Council has decided to renew measures designed to implement the arms embargo against Libya for another year, the UN said in a statement. The measures include authorizing Member States — acting nationally or through regional organizations — to inspect vessels on the high seas off Libya’s coast believed to be in violation of the arms embargo imposed on that country. Adopting Resolution 2733 (2024) by a recorded vote of 9 in favor to none against, with 6 abstentions, the Council extended the authorizations set out in its Resolution 2684 (2023) for a further 12 months, the statement said late Friday.
