The deadlocked political process was fuelling insecurity and instability, following the indefinite postponement of presidential and legislative elections in 2021. Recalling the Chair's desire to update working methods, he appealed to the Committee to formally inform Libya of such correspondence. Increasing regional and international crises have had a negative impact on the situation in Libya and on the Council and its priorities, he observed. He urged the Council, among other things, to respect the Libyan Political Agreement and to put an end to some individuals' or countries' attempts to deepen the political divide. Also needed was support for national political processes to resolve pending issues on elections, end the deadlock and organize elections under UN supervision.
