Ambassador Richard MillsDeputy U.S. Representative to the United NationsNew York, New YorkNovember 15, 2022AS DELIVEREDThank you, Special Representative Bathily, for your update on the current situation in Libya. We welcome your efforts to engage all parties to reach agreement on a constitutional framework for presidential and parliamentary elections and a timeline for a vote. We call on all Libyan leaders to meaningfully participate in a process that leads Libya to free and fair elections as soon as possible. The United States rejects accusations that somehow access to Libyan oil reserves is the cause of the political impasse in Libya today. Libya’s leaders must shoulder the responsibility of achieving sustainable peace, good governance, and ultimately prosperity for the people of Libya.
