The UN warned Wednesday that unilateral actions by various factions in Libya will undermine that country's sovereignty and lead it into further crisis. Stephanie Koury, officer-in-charge of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, cited several examples at a Security Council meeting on the situation in Libya. "if unilateral actions continue, they will only undermine Libya's sovereignty, plunge the country into further crisis, and distract from the task at hand; paving the way to a comprehensive political solution," said Koury. "Libyans have also made clear their desire for a political process to address longer-term fundamental issues, which remain unresolved to date," said Koury. "The recent events have shown that confidence-building measures, such as ending unilateral actions, or securing guarantees to commitments made, are more critical than ever to advance a productive political process," she said.
