The United Nations envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salame, has briefed the Security Council (UNSC) today on the latest development of the Libyan Political Agreement and his action plan implementation. Salame told the UNSC on Thursday that his action plan's second stage - a national conference - is going to be held in next February to gather all Libyan political stakeholders without exception. Sayala added that his government deplores the war crimes and crimes against humanity in Al-Abyar in Benghazi, the vicious airstrikes on Wadi Nina and the heinous air attack on Derna, where civilians including women and children were killed. In the meantime, the Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano told the UNSC that his country fully supports the UN-led political process, citing enormous assistance given by his country to help Libya reach stability. Condemnation of the crimes against humanity and war crimes in Libya - including Derna, Al-Abyar in Benghazi and Wershiffana in western Libya - was voiced also by the UK and the US as well as other foreign Representatives at the UN.
