Extension of the mandate of the United Nations Mission to Libya for one year
The United Nations Security Council on Friday renewed the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya for a year, after months of extending the mandate for short periods due to divisions. Since the November 2021 resignation of Jan Kubis of Slovakia, who served as the UN envoy to the country, the mandate of the UN Support Mission in Libya (MANOL) has only been renewed for periods of a few months. But the position has been vacant for a long time, as Security Council approval is deemed necessary and he has rejected several proposals made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. On Friday, the Security Council unanimously approved the extension of Manol’s mandate until October 31, 2023. The resolution calls on “all Libyan parties and other key stakeholders to cooperate constructively with (Abdullah Batili) to accomplish his mission.”The United Nations is leading mediation between the two competing governments for power in Libya, to reach a constitutional framework that will allow elections.

UN urges Libya rivals to agree in road map to elections soon
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Security Council voted unanimously Friday to extend the U.N. political mission in Libya for a year and urged key institutions and parties in the divided north African country to agree on a road map to deliver presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible. The oil-rich nation has been split between rival administrations in the east and west, each backed by rogue militias and foreign governments. It backs the resumption of efforts to resume intra-Libya talks to create conditions for elections. So UNSMIL’s 12-month extension until Oct. 31, 2023, was a vote of confidence for the former Senegalese minister and diplomat. They emphasized “that there can be no military solution in Libya” and called on all parties to refrain from violence.
