Security Council Report website said that the Security Council will hold its bimonthly briefing on the situation in Libya in April, as Representative and Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Hanna Tetteh will brief the Council on recent political, security, and humanitarian developments in the country and the Secretary-General’s latest report on UNSMIL.
The website said the chair of the 1970 Libya Sanctions Committee might brief on the Committee’s activities.
The website noted that the UN Mission established an “Advisory Committee” last February to address the outstanding issues hindering the holding of elections.
During the February briefing, members of the Security Council welcomed the appointment of Tetteh and the formation of the Advisory Committee in general, although Russia expressed some reservations regarding the committee’s formation mechanism and inclusivity.
It said that the main objective of the Security Council in this session is to support political progress toward national elections that would unify Libya’s divided government and create common ground among the rival parties to agree on a comprehensive electoral framework.
It also highlighted that the April briefing represents an opportunity for the Council to assess the work of Tetteh and the Advisory Committee and to renew its support for the UN-led mediation efforts aimed at restoring stability in Libya.
