The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has called for adherence to the outcomes of the Berlin Conference and the immediate withdrawal of all mercenaries from Libyan territories.
The rotating president of the Security Council for this month, Tariq Al-Adab, said that the members of the Council have called for the withdrawal of foreign fighters and mercenaries from Libya without delay and the implementation of confidence-building measures in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.
Following a closed session of consultations held on Thursday, the UNSC also called on all Libyans and international parties to fully respect the ceasefire agreement and the arms embargo as stipulated in the Council’s decisions.
On his part, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on thousands of foreign fighters and mercenaries to immediately leave Libya, saying: “leave the Libyans alone.” “The ceasefire is holding,” Guterres told reporters.
“It’s essential that all foreign troops and all foreign mercenaries move first to Benghazi and to Tripoli and, from there, move back and leave the Libyans alone, because the Libyans have already proven that, left alone, they are able to address their problems,” he said.
