“Foreign interference in Libya must come to a stop and the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya must be respected,” he emphasized. BriefingABDOULAYE BATHILY, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), briefed the Security Council for the first time since becoming Head of the Mission on 25 September. He urged that the international community support Libyan efforts in a coordinated manner, rally behind the United Nations and refrain from taking any action that could further deepen divisions. The Security Council must stress upon Libyan actors the need to work together towards elections, he said. Such behaviour only leads to polarization between parties and complicates the prospects of the political process that the Council has mandated.
