The UN envoy told reporters in New York that the interventionist policies of certain international governments are worsening the crisis. The UN envoy underlined that there will be no military solution to the Libyan conflict that has raged on since the fall of Muammar Gadaffi in 2011 and warned that further military interventions may destabilize neighboring countries. Speaking about the possibility of an arms embargo on Libya, the envoy explained that: “There is a resolution calling for an arms embargo in Libya. If everybody violates the arms embargo, it’s a problem. “Libya cannot become a political ‘commercial asset’ that serves diplomatic conferences and meetings instead of serving the vital need of the Libyan people in peace and security,” Bourita argued.
