On Monday 10 December, the European Foreign Affairs Council adopted conclusions on Libya reiterating EU’s commitment to the stabilization of Libya in the spirit of the Paris and Palermo Conferences. EU member states recalled that the status quo in Libya is a prevalent source of instability for the Libyan people and the entire region. For that reason, the EU expressed full support for ongoing efforts by the United Nations for a Libyan-owned political process including the recalibrated Action Plan presented by the UN Representative of the Secretary-General Ghassan Salamé in November to the UN Security Council. Facing the urgent need to overcome the political stalemate, the EU calls on all Libyan actors, in particular the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, to cooperate with the Government of National Accords towards the objectives agreed upon in Palermo. The EU will also continue to help Libyans address the migratory challenges, notably to: fight against smuggling and trafficking of human beings; support the resilience and stabilisation of host communities; improve the situation and protection of migrants and refugees; help ensure UN agencies’ and other aid organisations’ access to migrants and people in need of protection; overcome the current system of detention centres; and better manage the borders, including in the south of Libya.
