The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said that the recent sanctions imposed on a number of human traffickers in Libya are part of a larger international effort to seek accountability for those involved in migrant smuggling and trafficking that threatens the peace, security, or stability of Libya.
In a statement posted on the US Embassy's website in Libya Friday, Haley explained that “these sanctions build on U.S. engagement with Libya’s Government of National Accord, which has emphasized its determination to crack down on migrant smuggling and trafficking activities.”, underscoring that these sanctions send a message to the world that the international community is united to deter such human violations.
The Security Council imposed in the past two days sanctions against individuals involved in human trafficking and migration in Libya, four of them were of Libyan nationality.
