Security Council ‘extends measures on Libya illicit petrol exports’
The UN Security Council says that it has ‘extended the authorization of measures against the illicit export of petroleum products from Libya,’ also expressing concern over continuing violations of the Libyan arms embargo.’
It said, ‘Unanimously adopting resolution 2644 (2022) (to be issued as document S/RES/2644(2022)), the 15-member Council, acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, decided to extend the authorization of its previously imposed measures against the illicit export of crude oil and other petroleum products from Libya until 30 October 2023.’
The Council also called ‘on all parties to fully implement the ceasefire agreement signed in Geneva on 23 October 2020’ and urged Member States to ‘respect and support such implementation, including through the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya’ and to ‘report to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya on the actions they have taken to effectively implement the travel-ban and asset-freeze measures in relation to all individuals on the sanctions list.’
